Slime Mold - Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa var. porioides I had to take so many photos of this slime with many different camera settings because it kept getting seriously over and under-exposed.  This image is probably the best one, and I reduced the brightness in photoshop by 50%!<br />

Habitat: Rotting wood<br />
