Slime mold

LOL, not a very inspiring photo, but I was fascinated when I saw the pattern on these extremely tiny slime molds,with their "weak and prostrate" stalks (thanks, Doug!). I would never find slime molds like this on my own. So many of them look no more than a very small, coloured "brush-stroke" on a rotting log. However, when I happen to be following the footsteps of friend, Doug (dougwaylett), I know I can be so lucky. I just don't know how he finds them, LOL. This is a supermacro of this almost-invisible-to-the-naked-eye slime mold. Seen on Rod Handfield's acreage, near Millarville, south west of Calgary.

Thanks to Doug (dougwaylett) for the ID: Badhamia utricularis!
