Beskrivning:

A fungus - Mucronella flava Growing in a sheltered spot a few feet above the ground on a large pine stump, these tufts are each about a centimetre high, and they consist of little yellow spines, which are directed downwards.

Mucronella flava and the related M. calva (which has much shorter spines and which grows on logs lying on the ground) are both evidently quite rare in Britain – http://data.nbn.org.uk/searchengine/search.jsp?tab=1&pg=1&searchTerm=mucronella

Several other photographs of Mucronella flava can be found here: http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Mucronella_flava.html

[The pine stump on which this Mucronella was growing has, in the past, been host to several different slime mould species, including Fuligo septica ( https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/510087 ), Enteridium lycoperdon ( https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/914784 ), and a Stemonitis species (shown on this stump at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1046280 ).]
