Physarum viride
Tiny stalks tapering and lighter coloured towards the top with cracking yellow spherical eggs for heads. About 3mm tall and 0.4mm wide at the heads. Growing from under a wet eucalyptus log. When the heads dropped away the brown spore mass dissipated almost immediately leaving just a hair-like stalk... ie no persistent 'fluffy' component as in arcyria for example.
Rain forest national park.
Very small slime mold. These are a reason to want some good camera gear.
