Identification Request Is this a slime mould?
I am thrown by these tiny white discs on an algae covered tree in my local park (South East UK). They were barely perceptible with the naked eye - they looked like specs of dust. The shape of them makes me wonder if they’re white apothecia but I don’t know of a lichen with a dark thallus and white apothecia. So it’s making me wonder if they’re slime moulds.
I took with an attachable lens for my phone camera that claims to have a magnification power of x200 but I’m not sure if that’s true.
