Hijacking #FungiFriday: It resembles a fungus but is actually a slime mold: Dog's Vomit (Fuligo septica). This one is still forming - at later stages it turns into a yellow-brownish mass that lives up to its name.

PS: I just discovered #SlimeMoldSaturday!
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 ! 🙂
There is the most amazing blue stuff growing on my very old branches on a neglected and damp woodpile (slime / algae / moss / lichen?). I’ve never seen anything quite like it! (Northern Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹 ) Not ideal for burning & heating my old house, but aesthetically pleasing.
EDIT: huge thanks to @ak_text who tells me this is a cobalt crust fungus (Terana caerulea), aka “velvet blue spread”. And very pretty it is too.

Looking rather like splats of bubble gum, it’s sexy slime mold time! No idea of ID. Perhaps Dictydiaethalium?
