A Sea Anemone in Wood?

No. During an autumn fungus foray in a local wood, I found this example of the slime mould Tubulifera arachnoidea posing for me. For a previous topic about this species see:

EM-1 (manual mode), Kiron 105mm, twin TTL off-camera flash, hand-held.

Interesting. And a nice find. I sure wouldn't want to touch it, anemone or not.

Thanks, David.

Unlike a true mould or mushroom, this might come after you, but very, very slowly!

Nice shot - interesting fungus and the little critter below it.

Thanks. There is also, which I have just seen, a springtail on the very top.

I'm older now, hence slower than I used to be, so that might concern me.

Thanks, Brian.

This is a fortunate find of the most attractive stage. The previous ones were on a flat surface, not fanned out like this and more strawberry-like.
