@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 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.

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 wouldn’t catch if you were walking in the woods. But it’s that platter of white at its base that gives it away. #slimemold #slimemolds #enteridiumlycoperdon #slimemoldsunday #myxogastria #falsepuffball #hiking
