Raspberry Slime Mould no 6

This image features a close-up of Raspberry Slime Mould (Comatricha nigra). The slime mould has a vibrant orange colour and a unique, gelatinous texture. It is made up of small, round, globular structures that are closely packed together, resembling clusters of raspberry fruit. The slime mould’s surface is smooth and shiny, with a soft, translucent quality. At the base, the mould has delicate, thin tendrils or filaments that spread out, creating a contrast with the rounder, more compact upper part. The bright orange hue is further enhanced by the translucent and glossy texture, giving the organism a striking, almost ethereal appearance.
