UPDATE: It seems this post shows a slime mold, not a fungus.
You'll remember the fungus posted on Izzy's Net. I'm happy to report that when I went to water the compost bins this morning I discovered this.
Here's a close-up of the pretty stuff up front.
When the bucket of coffee grounds I was trying to rejuvenate my mushroom farm in was growing mold instead of mushrooms I dumped the grounds in the compost bin. I was hoping that some of the mushrooms had survived and would thrive in the compost. But some other life form took over.
This stuff is (well, was) pretty (I hosed it down after taking the pictures). I hope it comes back again and again.

It's amazing the things that happen after I go to work!
Have you ever seen Attack of the Mushroom People?
That looks like the same stuff we had. In a matter of a few hours, it turns into the dog-barf-looking stuff at the top of the photo.
Congrats on some pretty (while they lasted) lifeforms!
The apricots were much tastier lifeforms, I bet (while they lasted)!
