Kanel-støvrør (Tubifera ferruginosa)

Den iøjnefaldende og temmeligt almindelige slimsvamp, Kanel-støvrør, i forskellige stadier op til modning. På de tre første billeder er helt friske eksemplarer, hvor man stadig ser plamodiet (den hvide substans under de laksefarvede sporangier).

De midterste to billeder viser klaser af mere eller mindre færdigudviklede sporangier, mens det sidste billede viser to klaser, som er ved at skifte farve til mat sortbrunm mend de tørrer ud, inden de frigiver deres sporer.

Raspberry Slime Mold (Tubifera ferruginosa)

The conspicuous and quite common Raspberry Slime Mold i various stages of maturity. In the first three photos, fresh clusters are being formed (the white substance seen under the salmon-coloured sporangia is the plasmodium).

The middle two photos show clusters of more or less fully formed sporangia while the last one shows two clusters in the process of changing colour to a matte black-brown as the dry out before releasing their spores.
