here i'm also not completly sure---> fungi (phleogena sp.? ) or slime mold {myxomycota} (didymium/physarum sp.?). will revisit that location the next days for some sample for the microscope, so i can say it for sure!!!
the actual highlight of this spotting, are the little different species of "mycological" guest's , to see on few of the fruitingbodies. i have marked them with red arrows, but there are still not good to see (i'm happy that my camera is able to shot the slime-mold sized specimen, those on the actuall spotting are way to tiny for my camera!!)

Alex,check this mission created by Elton. You might like it.
you could say it so, or you/I could say: i like to think about stuff, others dont want to think about. My life is docus-books-and life expirience (as long as it has to do with nature {or history untill 1 b.c. })
fluffberger, i have got some new spores, and i will go for this one into directon of slime mold, (maybe i will upload them the next time)!
i don not want to come over: picky! but can you be sure then, because many of my slime mold spores- pictures look similiar as yours.!! do you have the possibility to make another spore-analysis. take some specimen with a ripe head, crush them carefully and try to lay down all material. when you see the strings you can be sure, otherwise would i not rule out the possibility that this are slime mold spore ( but ok, i don't expirience it myself, i can only suggest from what i see). ? but otherwise i will believe you when you say it is so, i think you're capable enough for fungi-id!! :)
thx again, as mentioned i will get some samples the next days, had you seen the spore pictures ( http://eol.org/pages/1030244/media ) (please compare, because the spore-picture from your spotting shows round spores but i could not find the "strings" { http://eol.org/data_objects/8761873 }), maybe you have still a slime mold ??
