  It was too dry at Strumpshaw Fen for slime moulds today, but I rather imagined this reedmace seed head as a super large slime mould capillitial spore mass! #SlimeMould #StrumpshawFen #Naturephotography #Botany #SilentSunday

  Spotted this leaning monolith along the river path at Strumpshaw Fen today – it looks like a Wild Cherry. Despite it's broken state and the old long gash, it's still clinging to life with fresh epicormic shoots – but it had also engulfed some blue nylon rope. This occasionally catches us out – from a distance we think that we've spotted an exciting fungus or slime mould! #StrumpshawFen #naturephotography #SilentSunday

  The adult child presented me with their sandwich tub to be washed up and upon opening it a waft of spores was released and I was confronted with a wonderful array of colours – from white to shades of greenish-greys, glaucous greens and deep olives. #FungiFriday #Fungi #Mycology

  Fuligo septica has made it's return to the woodland at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen. This small aethalium was being checked out by a woodlouse. #silentSunday #nature #slimemoulds #Myxomycetes #StrumpshawFen
