Is this a Myxo …

[Wood Wanderer]

I am assuming this is a Myxo (Trichia / Hemitrichia ) but not completely certain as they have not progressed to the usual sporangium state that I associate with the normal transition process. The substrate does not seem of particular importance, as you can see from the attached images, all found in close association to each other.

Can anyone confirm or otherwise.

Hello John

If not a Myxo then possibly a Gall. A gentle squeeze would reveal. The substrate would then be quite important for ID

Edit : Having now seen this on my monitor I would say Craterium minutum is very likely

Keep an eye on these John. The best phase is yet to come (See my post Craterium minutum)

Thanks for your thoughts John

Mine have developed a shade but still do not really look like your beauties …

I guess they are a myxo but as to which one ??

Will keep an eye on them but suspect they are past their best

Taken rather a long time but I think I have finally found my own Craterium minutum, growing on the underside of a fallen branch
