Die Ähnlichkeit dieses Schleimpilzes der Gattung Ceratiomyxa zu den Meereskorallen ist schon verblüffend. Die Fruchtkörper wirken glasig transparent und auf ihrer Oberfläche sitzen die mikroskopisch kleinen Sporenbehälter (Sporangien). Bei den anderen Schleimpilzen befinden sich diese im Inneren der Fruchtkörper. Dadurch erhält die Gattung Ceratiomyxa eine gewisse Sonderstellung unter den Schleimpilzen.
The similarity of this slime mold from the genus Ceratiomyxa to sea corals is astonishing. The fruit bodies appear glassy and transparent and the microscopic spore containers (sporangia) sit on their surface. In the case of other slime molds, these are located inside the fruiting bodies. This gives the genus Ceratiomyxa a certain special status among the slime molds.
This was taken shortly before sunset in meadows alongside the River Teme, near Powick in Worcestershire. I spotted through a gap in the hedgerow, that the breeze was blowing daffodil seeds across the meadow. Wish I'd got some video of the scene as well!

Reproduction. Ferns reproduce by an alternation of generations, the fern being the sporophyte which produces asexual spores. In most ferns the sporangia (spore-bearing sacs) are borne in clusters called sori, which appear as brown dots or streaks on the underside of the leaves.
A fern is a member of a group of about 10,560 known extant species of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular. They have branched stems and leaves, like other vascular plants. These are megaphylls, more complex than the simple microphylls of clubmosses. Most ferns have what are called fiddleheads that expand into fronds, which are each delicately divided.

Thank you, my friends, for all the views, faves and comments.

Green frog (Rana clamitans) among moss spore capesuls. Taken this summer at Wildwood Nature Preserve.
Arcyria incarnata
Google lens tells me these are Arcyria incarnata. The spores were everywhere like some kind of pink dye.
Whole scene no more than 4mm wide. Taken with the Laowa 25mm @ x4. Loving the light the Cygnustech gives :)
EXIF data is wrong. Looks like it's picking up the non cpu data in camera from my 100mm.
I don't know if this is the typical life cycle of moss spores or if it's the consequence of no recent rain. I haven't provided (and won't provide) water. Webster Groves, Missouri.
Mature wood mushrooms with a spore print (centre). For the complete print see the image in the comments.
Possibly common inkcap fungus (Coprinopsis atramentaria). It grows in tufts from buried decaying wood, usually appearing after rain, so it seems to fit the image. It can be up to 17cm tall, with a conical cap and shaggy edge which often drips an inky liquid.
The cap is fawn-grey, egg-shaped, and mostly smooth at first. It develops into a conical cap, 3-7cm in diameter, grooved and often split at the edges, eventually turning black.
The gills/spores are white at first, then brown and then black as the gills ‘autodigest’ into a thick inky liquid which drips from the edges of the cap. The spores are of an elliptical shape and its spore print is black.
The stipe (stalk) is a hollow white stem with reddish-brown fibres called fibrils.
I must admit a complete lack of knowledge on this subject - the above all comes from a Woodland Trust web page,
Seen in Oak Hill Wood Nature Reserve in Barnet, north London.
