Slime Mould

Nicola Devine found this rare slime mould on the Trap Grounds on 25 January 2020. Only 5 previous records of Badhamia utricularis in Oxfordshire in the last 100 years, and only 2 records in the last 40 years, both around Shotover. Rufus the Frog Lane robin obligingly posed for the photo, to give an idea of the scale of the mould.
