____________________________________________________

This is my last post from Costa Rica – three high-magnification stacked macro images of slime mould or, to be more precise, the fruiting bodies of slime mould. These shape-shifting organisms called myxomycetes resemble fungi in some forms, but are actually more closely related to amoebas. They are a new-found interest that, together with lichens and some of the smaller ascomycete fungi, will be my main focus of attention over the coming months. Whilst lichens can be readily found in various habitats, slime mould - from my current experience - is far more of a challenge, but challenges are good so it will be interesting to see how these new albums grow.
