Slime mold and round fungus beetles
Found at Mayville Ledge Beech-Maple Woods SNA in east-central Wisconsin. Dodge County, Wisconsin, USA.
Found in mixed hardwood forest. Found on the trunk of a dead fallen debarked hardwood tree. Beetle entrance/exit holes visible in right slime mold fruiting body. Looks like they hollowed it out pretty good.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-26EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie and plastic cup diffuser.
