Description

Years ago, I found a Dog Vomit's Slime Mould in my garden. For years I didn't see a slime mould (didn't look for them really), but yesterday there were several of them in the hay-meadow in our garden. Not the colorfull one of last time, but a species that doesn't seem to have an English name. (The Dutch name could be translated as 'greater chalk-foam').

It starts as a pale yellow slime mold, that gradually fades to cream white, and end as a blackened mass.
