This fallen log was half covered in slime, balls and balls of orange-red-coloured slime. At first I thought they were all the same species but, after looking more closely at my photos, I think there are two. The majority were these Red raspberry slime balls (Tubifera ferruginosa).
And the others were one of the Lycogala species of slime. Both looked delicious … but you wouldn’t want to eat them.
