User's notes

This pink and cream mass was about 15 cm across, with bright yellow shiny protruberances all around the edge that I took to be growing surfaces. On soil in grassland.

Looks like a maturing specimen, though interesting that there are those small yeallow protrubances.....?! Maybe part of the slime mould is still growing...........? Never seen an example like this
