WOAH!!!

Wow, the whole process is fascinating! I thought fungi were interesting but slime moulds are something else!

...I would love to find some of the Didymiums though. They look so cool!

That's good to know! Previously this is as close as I've got to them, so the fuzziness wasn't as obvious. And I'd love to know how they disperse spores as they just look like pom poms on a stick, no visible pores/gills etc!

I'll be making a pilgrimage each year to see these ones 🤣 I've never found them locally to me but these are a just about decent amount of travel time away so I'm looking forward to visiting them next year!

Also, the hunt for slime moulds in that garden continues 🤣

Are they? Thank you, I didn't realize! That would explain why I can't find out what they are when I look at slime moulds 🤣

Many, many photos were taken, in some incredible light.

Then, for the first time ever, the memory card corrupted 💔

So I went back to the location the following weekend, and found this amazing young one. Fungus or Facehugger, you decide! 🤣

I do still listen to audiobooks when I wake in the night and can't get to sleep, the black and white screen seems to be enough to stop me from checking the internet as if I do, it's fatal!

Haha I'm trying! Phone screen turns black and white at 10pm and notifications don't show through, which has helped enormously in that respect, it's a really good setting! Reverts back to normal in the morning!

Hahah I can't even count 🤣🤣🤣

No, not at all! I haven't been logging into any social media really, apart from Instagram occasionally!

And then she disappeared again (work and elderly folks stuff been a little bit insane this year). But here I am again, and will try to leave it less than two months to log in again 🤦🏻‍♀️
