This slime mold is everywhere in Abney Park at the moment. There is scarcely a wet piece of wood anywhere that doesn’t have its own colony of these tiny round, sessile (no stalks) growths. I managed to get a photo of the elators, which are part of the internal structure, and so characteristic that it nails the identification. It has banding around the outer part, which is in the form of 2 spirals. They are fairly flat on one side and ridges on the other.
