Coral Slime
Ceratiomyxa fruitculosa

Field Notes
Description:
Highly branched clumps of fruiting bodies of slime mold. The sporocarps, about 2 mm high, appeared to have a powdery surface which is presumably a phase that this slime mold undergoes.
Habitat:
Seen on the underside of fallen twigs in a damp area - nature reserve.
Notes:
These are very confusing to the inexperienced eye. I believe my ID is correct but I am open to correction.
Another phase of this slime mold can be seen in this spotting:
