Another Slime Mould..(I Think)

I spotted this large growth on a decaying tree trunk whilst I was out walking this afternoon. The ‘dome’ on the left is about the size of half a tennis ball…so it is quite a fair size.

I think that it is a slime mould...possibly ‘Reticularia lycoperdon’ or ‘false puffball’. As ever, I stand to be corrected as I have only looked around on Google for similar images.

I am full of cold (again)…headaches, sneezes and a horrid runny nose!!! Hope I wasn’t infectious last weekend when we were visiting Mrs madwill’s family. Pretty sure it is not COVID as I have none of the aches and joint pains that I had with that!
