Came across some Wolf’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 ! 🙂
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 didn’t proceed like the remainder of the mass. Once slime molds leave the plasmodium stage and enter the fruiting stage, the change is FAST.
