Hi, new into slime mold hunting. I have found these five since I started this summer.

Just sharing as I really love these backyard aliens but open to ID suggestions as well.

1.Tubifera? On mossy tree stump, I was informed ferruginosa has pointed tips, it can be seen in some parts of the slime mold.

2. Don't have anything conclusive to say about this one, yellow ones could be anything? On rotten wood, Betula. Edit: it's se jelly fungus

3.Ceratiomyxa porioides. On rotting wood.

4. Another tubifera, found 50 m away from the previous one. The tips look more round. On old stump with moss.

5. Stemonitis found couple of weeks back. On dry, dead wood.

1. Blue-footed Landlouper, an antilope analogue

2. Blue-Crested Squashbill, omnivore that eats 'crustaceans' and 'mollusks' of the planet.

3. Traffic Cone Squashbill, a seed eating herbivore

4. Tailed Shrikebowel, a sessile, hive-like organism.

5. Oxram, herbivore from the southern polar region.

6. Crowned Membrane Fencer, omnivore swordfighters.

I already discussed about this subject on a local, national Facebook group but people there were not sure/ were not experts in this particular subject.

Found from Eastern Finland this May, a few days ago. What do you think it is? If you are not familiar with fungi of the area, have you seen something like this in other continents?

It does not appear to be rust or caused by drought. One possibility I and people in that mycology group had in mind was Lophodermium. Does it look like it?

On Picea abies, the Norway spruce. The abnormalities appeared only on needles grown last year. Young tree, less than 10 years of age.
