@mike_malaska As a lover of the slime mould, your toot is well worthy of a retweet for the sheer chutzpah of the hashtag #SlimeMoldSunday. May it gain traction!
For #SlimeMoldSunday, (I just made that up) here is an excellent example of Dog Vomit Slime Mold.

Came across some Wolfโ€™s Milk slime mold on a stump a couple of days ago.
Love the color of those cushion-like blobs.
Here they are still immature, with eye-catching colors. When mature, they will be grayish and more likely to go unnoticed.

I almost posted this photo to help with identification on #FungiFriday before realizing that these are no fungi, so Happy #SlimeMoldSaturday or #SlimeMoldSunday or #MyxogastriaMonday ! ๐Ÿ™‚

72 hours in the life of a slime mold.

This week I discovered a slime mold taking over an old stump behind the house. Over the next 3 days I took a picture of it at the same time of day. Notice the section that grasped the twig - how it then didnโ€™t proceed like the remainder of the mass. Once slime molds leave the plasmodium stage and enter the fruiting stage, the change is FAST.

One of the things I love about slime molds is how obvious they can be in their plasmodial stage, yet unrecognizable in their post-fruiting stage. This Enteridium lycoperdon looks like a burnt log or animal scat or just something your eye wouldnโ€™t catch if you were walking in the woods. But itโ€™s that platter of white at its base that gives it away. #slimemold #slimemolds #enteridiumlycoperdon #slimemoldsunday #myxogastria #falsepuffball #hiking
