Tiny, blue Slime Mold

Friends and I saw this teeny, blue Slime Mold (I'm pretty sure that's what this is), when we were walking the trail up to the Lower Falls at Johnston Canyon, Banff National Park. Wish they had all been lined up in rows to make a more photogenic shot : ) However, sometimes photos are posted for interest rather than quality - and I wanted to add it to a couple of Albums. I wonder if this is Badhamia utricularis? Taken on 11 September 2013, when the three of us started the day with Johnston Canyon and then on to Bow Lake. Another great day of botanizing and, for me, a wonderful chance to be in the mountains again.

Yes it is a slime mould - Cribraria persoonii. This was an ID given to me by another contact. Hope it is right but if you have any more ideas let me know. Its a great macro and very good find.
