Walkers leave the south cairn on Corndon Hill Corndon Hill has five stone cairns on prominent points around its summit, of which three can be easily accessed, two being sited in sheep pasture rather than on Open Access Land.

Slime mould on Corndon Hill If you have ever encountered this on walks you may well, as I have, discount it as dog vomit but it is in fact a slime mould, a life form that used to be classified as a fungi. It feeds on micro-organisms that you may find on the forest floor, lawns or logs. It grows to form a substance, such as this one, eventually dries out and becomes 'dust', dissolved in rain or washed away. The grass blades give scale but this example is five or six inches in length.

Smaller slime mould on Corndon Hill The common name for this slime mould is 'Dog's vomit slime mould' as that is what it most readily resembles. I'm not a great person for getting on my knees to closely inspect things like this but I must say that they are amazing little life forms; emerging or forming, living their life cycle and drying out awaiting the opportunity to reform via spores released during their brief existence. They mystified early scientists and observers for years if not centuries until they have been more understood and studied only in recent decades.
