Cherry red slime mold Acryia sp. lovely cherry red fruiting bodies! There were other stages of this slime that weren&#039;t in positions I could manage to capture. It started as small white balls, slowly changing pink, to tan to brown to finally hardening and elongating to these beautiful red structures. <br />
Just found this - There are three species of Acyria with red/pink sporangia (A. minuta, A. insignis and A. denudata), which need microscopy for definite identification.  Fall,Geotagged,United States Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
