Description: Photograph Notes: This soft pink mass, which is about 1.5cm across, is the plasmodium of the slime mould species Lycogala terrestre (the plasmodium is the stage during which the organism is mobile, slimy, and feeds on bacteria). The example in this photograph was located on a fallen branch beside the muddy footpath that is shown in [[1998766]]. It was clearly just about to form a solid fruiting body (see [[2065877]] for some examples), since it had already more or less assumed its final shape. A week later, the pink blob had become a pinkish-brown powdery mass of spores. [In this case, the colour of the plasmodium and spore mass allowed the species to be distinguished from the similar Lycogala epidendrum (whose fruiting bodies do not reach this size); see [[914798]] for further comments. Compare, also, [[1998947]].] (According to accounts I have read, certain slime moulds have been mistaken for discarded gum. I can imagine this specimen being seen in that light. As noted above, this one is certainly a slime mould, as confirmed by its subsequent development, and it was identified to species.)
