A great find from a Community Science volunteer - This yellow blob is actually 'Mucilago crustacea' a slime mould known as dog's vomit (or dog's snot)!
It was photographed by Julian Barber as he helped with the annual vegetation monitoring at our site on the Roaches in the South West Peak.
Dog's vomit encrusts over vegetation - starting off this almost luminous yellow colour, before turning white and then black within 24 hours as the spores mature.
