Trichia With Ripe Capsules

Yesterday, on some rotten wood in my garden, I saw what I though was the start of development of a slime mould colony. On closer examination, I found it to be already developed, with ripe (brown) spore capsules, which I had not previously found for this genus.
I previously used my Kiron 105mm with a Raynox supplementary:

This time, I used my reversed Schneider HM 40mm plus x 1.5TC.
I had two sessions, one in daylight, kneeling on cold, wet leaves, one by torchlight, sitting on a cold, wet bench. It's nice to have a choice!
. The second session was because I missed the focus on the ripe ones. (There is no clear structure on the shiny surface to focus on).
The highlight on the shiny surface show that only an extreme amount of diffusion will give perfect illumination. Triple diffused flash were used for these.
The stereos are crosseye.

Thanks, Bran.
The biggest problem with these was getting a clear line of sight, as they were in a dip. Yesterday I found some more on an adjacent log, where that was not an issue, and got some shots.
