Infested Pepper Plant

 I went for a walk after a break in the rain showers and came across one of my Madaya Pepper plants covered in some awful looking slime that resembled some sort of insect eggs. After taking some photos, I sent them to my friend Duncan to see if he could recognise them. 

Little did I realise he had posted them online and got a response and a name for this problem. An unidentified Slime Mould, a form of Myxomycetes, so I found it wasn't harmful to the plant, which was good. Thank you Duncan.

Jan later wiped it from the plant with her rubber glove and deposited in in the bin.
