These long, elongated sporangia were anywhere from light grey to dark grey and had similarly-coloured stems.

They grew on the rotting wood of a log pile.

The spores were ejected, supposedly, out of holes at the top of the “head”.

I saw them again on Day 3 in large groups, ranging from white to dark grey.

They grew with other slime moulds, namely Fuligo septica.

On Day 4, I spotted a newer group of immature, purely white sporangia.

The original groups remained much the same.

By Day 6, their forms were less distinct and many had fully turned into spore masses.

On Day 9 I found some on this small chunk of wood.
