Forking slime mold

Thanks arlanda ..or not-so-funny names depending upon your perspective. Someone obviously had a sense of humour though. :-)

Thanks Shanna. Maybe a little sauce would help. Come to think of it I've never seen anything consuming this type. Sometimes you can see ants gathering up the moist white ones (self saucing).

We found a Tubifera ferruginosa on the very next log. If it was just the brown fluffy bits on this one I would guess some Arcyria but there's other things going on here. These slime molds are great fun to ID. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll look into that.
