Myxo on sycamore log

Post by Steve »

Hi,
Can anyone help me with this Myxo please. I've tried the key in Bruce Ing's and I keep getting to Physarum cinereum, which is on grass. The tubular lime looks a bit like capillitium, but I couldn't see much of this a day after collection. On collection the peridium was dark brown, but it dried whitish overnight. The spores are very finel echinolate and about 12 um diameter, very dark brown en masse.
Very disappointed with Bruce Ing's re-issued book, the illustrations are not good.
