FungiFriday - Yellow Yuk
This thing is so tiny that if it wasn't for the very bright yellow colour I would have certainly missed it. But since everything around was wet and brownish and no bigger an brighter mushrooms were trying o steal the show...
Oh hello you.. let me shoot ya!
Leocarpus fragilis
Leocarpus fragilis also has a plasmodial stage, usually following periods of rain. When the plasmodium runs out of nutrients, it will differentiate into the egg-like fruiting bodies (pictured here). These structures are specialized sporangia which disperse spores after rupturing.

It is also called Insect-Egg Slime Mold and it does look like it. If someone doesn't know that slime mold an look like this I am sure it can be mistaken as ladybird eggs.
I didn't touch it. I was afraid I would destroy it, though for scientific purpose I probably should have. Plus I don't think it would mind :p
Looks like a tiny, little tree here.
A little bit further away I found another one. I think it is the same type, though it is much darker. More mature maybe?
And now time to see how Insect-Egg Slime Mold looks in he eyes of AI:)
Because why not?
Flying mold :D

I would love to come across those lovely little jewels. Not at all what I should think something called "slime" would look like. You have such a gift for seeing the tiny beautiful things.
Maybe it turns to a proper slime when touched. I didn't dare :p
Thank you! :D
That looks more like bird poop. : )
cute little fungi, certainly I might miss that when I am out for a mushroom hunt.
Love that little spider also. : )

Hello dear friend @ewkaw good afternoon
Excellent find, I love its shape and vivid color, I must admit that I had never seen anything like it before.
Beautiful shots, I appreciate you introducing us to this variety of mushrooms
enjoy the weekend
Thanks a lot :) It was a very cool find indeed.
Nature is astonishing.
The more I see such pictures the more I feel grateful for such natural art creation. So perfect, so delicate.
Totally agree :D
Oh wow! These are too cute 😍 I’ve never seen these before and I couldn’t guess there, fungi. Would defo take it for eggs of something. Love the colours too 😁💙
They hide well :D I probably did see it before but I thought they were eggs too.
I’ll look out for them next time I’m in the forest. Haven’t been there for a few weeks 🙊
It is so tiny. Maybe that is why it is yellow so that it will not go unnoticed. I love the shape as well. It is certainly pretty - thanks for sharing.
True :) Even being so small it really pops.
Strange looking nature! Very mystical somehow!
More aliens :D
Oh wow. I love that bright yellow color.
It is very cool, isn't it :)
Yeah. My favorite color
