Decomposing roses are old and mold

While watering my little plant today, I thought it was sick with mold, mildew, or a fungus! But checking online, I was relieved that it's ok. Those white particles are "trichomes".

"Trichomes are small hairs on the leaves of the the air plants which help them absorb water, airborne minerals, and helps them to regulate their temperature. Trichomes are important since air plants do not grow in soil and have traditional root systems. Trichomes can absorb moisture directly from the air, even without the plant having to get damped by rain, mist, or morning dew."

My wife noticed these tiny spheres on a dead fern frond as she was trimming dead growth in the garden. The frond is quite small, 2-3 mm across. I clamped it and shot it inside (there was a drawer pull in the background). I believe these are the sporangia, or clusters of spores, of a Myoxymycetes slime mold. Haven't seen anything like this before...interesting...

A bright yellow spot in an otherwise dull hivernal forest. Slime molds are fascinating living beings, inspiration for The Blob and other Sci-Fi. And yes, some species are bright purple.

On a large rotting conifer log in the Anacortes Community Forest Lands. Taken of a bit of the side of the log adjacent to the end with its mass of fruiting slime mold -- better light and accessibility.

Was focus shifted (using in camera app) and combined using Zerene Stacker.

At about 1:1.2.

Fascinating find. Slime mold, jelly fungus on Cherry Tree in our garden
