Ed,

Lovely shot.

Almost certainly the early stage of Badhamia utricularis. If it is, it would turn grey in the next few days.

Thanks again ... I'll check on it tonight

It had changed enormously overnight. Shape is different, it had moved the body mass a significant distance and starting to turn grey.

At a glance, that could be mistaken for Fuligo emetica but it looks too shiny and smooth.

I love the clash of colours here.

Two days later, the romance is dead!

It's looking more like a Fuligo now, although the start didn't. I still might surprise us.
