A good year for dog vomit or scrambled eggs

I don't know about you but I've been seeing a lot of our old friend Fuligo septica lately. Mostly I've been finding it old and dry on wood chips. Once I flicked it hard with my finger and got my fingertip covered in spores. I tried to think of something mischievous do do with my spore-dusted digit, but in the end I just wiped it off. It's not like it's hard to find the species around--I don't need to sneak it into places.

I caught this batch early in its life as it crawled through a bed of moss on a rotten log. I don't usually find it looking this much like scrambled eggs, so this was nice.
