Paxton Slime Moulds and Fungi

 I spent a very engrossed couple of hours studying a large stump and several branches/logs around it for small fungi and slime moulds. Last year the stump was covered in the Fenugeek Stalkball and there are lots of fruiting bodies this year but not as prolific.

 I found a couple of definite slime moulds, several species of small fungi and quite a few unidentified cups, caps and 'hairy mats' including an ozonium, the bright orange carpet of hyphae supporting the firerug inkcap Coprinellus domseticus, no longer fruiting.
