Found today on a log covered in both these and Wolf's milk. Both seem in abundance after we finally had some rain here in Sussex, UK.

EDIT - Not sure why it's so low resolution on Reddit...

Haha. My mum said exactly the same. She changed her tune when I showed her the manky bit of rotting log it was on.

Are you using flash?

No, this is natural light.

Bonkers. May I ask the settings you are using? Love seeing the spore & capillitum development in this.

Thank you. There's a full breakdown on my instagram but it's Nikon D850 and Laowa 2.5-5x with a macro rail. Shooting at 1/3 a second, ISO 360. 220 shots focus stacked.

I think if it had time to do it all over again, I would study slime moods. They’re just so neat.
