I have found this slime mold high on a trunk of a Tamarix africana about 1m above ground level (strange place for slime moudds) and I am quite sure it is Fuligo septica sl but then I am not sure about the variety. It has a pale yellow / cream outer lime surface followed by a bright lemon-yellow one below. The capillary looks white. I am undecided between var. Septica or var. Flava?y a
Fuligo septica s.l.

Hallo,
the difference between the two variety:Fuligo septica var. septica: the inner lime is white
F. septica var. flava: the inner lime is yellow.
-
So this is clearly flava because the lower layer of lime in the 'crust' is yellow? That what is meant by inner lime right?
-
The outer crust is yellow in both varieties, but the inside of the fruiting body consists of the spore mass and a calcareous framework (inner lime or capillitium). This limestone framework is white in var. septica and yellow in var. flava.
I can't really see the color of the inner calcareous framework in your fotos.
