Ceratiomyxa fruitculosa
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.
Seen on the underside of fallen twigs in a damp area - nature reserve.
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: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/246...
