Thanks Muckpuk. I could not come back to the place to picture the same specimes mature, but I found mature specimens in the same trunk at the same time as these juvenile ones. have a look here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/123...
Gracias Eulalia
Wow! Did you also take some pictures later? If this is Juvenile form, I would love to see the mature form. I love slime mould!
Qué interesante.
Thanks Ava
