40 Stunning Photographs of Nature, Up Close and Personal
“Slime Moulds on Parade” by Barry Webb
Second Place, “Plants and Fungi”

This image is a stack of 34 focus bracketed images. It shows a line of 2.5mm high, fruiting bodies of the slime mould Metatrichia floriformis growing on a decaying beech trunk. Initially, I liked this group because it showed different stages in their development. But when I looked through the magnifier, I noticed that the fruiting bodies resembled people standing in a line — the holes in the stems looked like little legs!
