Blushing Rossette (Abortiporous biennis)

 

Blushing Rossette (Abortipoirous biennis)

This specimen was growing on the base of a tree stump with dirt all around.

I found it whilst taking the bridleway which runs alongside the farm on the Hilderstone Road which is about 200 yards on leaving the Mosses road just after the railway bridge. 

After researching I gather this comes under the category of slime moulds.
