Raspberry Slime Mould no 4

This image shows a close-up of Raspberry Slime Mould (Comatricha nigra) growing on a piece of wood. The slime mould has a vibrant orange colour and is composed of small, round, globular structures that are tightly packed together, resembling clusters of raspberry fruit. The texture is smooth and gelatinous, with a shiny, almost translucent appearance. The slime mould is growing in patches along the surface of the wood, with a visible spiral-shaped snail nearby, adding to the natural scene. The wood itself shows signs of age and weathering, with its dark, rough surface contrasting with the bright orange slime mould.
