I found this in the garden last night, it's lots of tiny white sort of arms all growing out of a log.
Sorry the stack hasn't come out perfectly, I was in a bit of a rush as I managed to chip off a tiny bit without damaging it and brought it into my indoor setup, I just knew it wasn't going to last long in that warmth, and indeed it did not, I shot a couple of stacks, had dinner, and it was completely shrivelled when I got back to it..
Stack of 43 images with Nikon 10x CF objective at roughly 1/2 extension on OM bellows. Aligned and stacked in CZP with Max Contrast Pyramid.
I assume this is a slime mold?

Thanks guys!
Cyclops, you have to look really carefully, a lot of them are really small. I could easily have assumed this was just some sort of mould until I took a close look... Look at any dead wood you see lying around, particularly if it's sheltered and damp. And keep looking, these things can spring up and disappear in quite a short space of time.
