Saw these bright orange weird things on an old birch. When I examined closer I saw tiny chambers, their openings no larger than a toothpick point.
Super tiny flying stingy things?!
No.
Ok, have to be galls. When all else fails, go with galls.
Nope.
Two days later I smartened up. What’s even more weird and freaky than galls?
Slime Molds! This is the most bizarro slime mold I’ve ever found.
Multi Goblet Slime [Metatrichia vesparia]
