Second Place in the Plants and Fungi category, the image was taken in a woodland in Buckinghamshire, England. “It shows a line of 2.5mm high, fruiting bodies of the slime mold Metatrichia floriformis growing on a decaying beech trunk,” explains the photographer. “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!”
