Raspberry Slime Mould no 3

This image shows a close-up of Raspberry Slime Mould (Comatricha nigra), characterized by its vibrant orange colour. The slime mould is composed of numerous small, rounded, globular structures that are clustered together, resembling a mass of tiny, jelly-like spheres. The mould’s surface is smooth and glossy, with a slightly translucent appearance. The lower portion of the mould transitions to a more translucent, gel-like substance, blending into the decaying wood beneath. The striking orange hue of the slime mould contrasts beautifully with the dark background, highlighting its unique and fascinating structure in its natural environment.
