Raspberry Slime Mould Cluster on Moss no 11

This photo shows a close-up of Raspberry Slime Mould (Amaurochaeta abundans), characterized by its vibrant orange-yellow colour. The slime mould forms a cluster of round, bead-like structures that look similar to tiny raspberries, hence the name. These structures are translucent with a gel-like appearance, giving them a soft, shiny look. The mould sits atop a lush green moss bed, creating a striking contrast between the vivid orange of the slime mould and the rich green of the moss. The slime mould appears to be in the early stages of its reproductive phase, with small tendrils extending from the base of the cluster. The photo beautifully captures the intricate, delicate form of this fascinating organism in its natural, moist habitat.
