The scene below is a close up taken yesterday showing the fruiting bodies of a myxomycete, or slime mould, growing on the bark of a dead spinning gum (Eucalyptus perriniana) in our garden here in Sedlescombe, East Sussex.
It was originally a vertical picture (that is with the fruiting bodies sticking out sideways) which I have turned to horizontal.
I thought it looked remarkably like some African savanna dotted with bushy-topped trees.
