This hollow tree stump has a colony of slime moulds. It was only when I zoomed in close on the processed image that I realised the close resemblance of the fruiting bodies to domestic incandescent, pearl light bulbs, complete with bayonet fitting.
When I took the pictures I was fairly sure that they were a Trichia species. A search confirmed them as T. varia, which, as the name suggests comes in various colours and shapes. The bodies are 1-2mm long.
EM-1 (manual mode), Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, twin TTL flash, hand-held.
