@AlisonMilton there are a couple of species this may become, do hope you are able to see it again this morning to photograph and possibly make a herbarium specimen of same. Initially its in the order of Physarales.

@Teresa How do I make a herbarium specimen? This is growing in pot of orchids. Not sure it's good for the orchards but the yellow fungus is growing in the same pot. Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (Plantpot Dapperling)

@AlisonMilton myxos will not harm the orchids, all these do is consume any bacteria. More details in another msg

After examining a specimen I now believe this may be the sclerotia of the Leucocoprinus birnbaumii found growing in the same pot, rather than a myxo - interesting exercise - many thanks Alison - its been a great learning curve
