HelterSkeletorAre slime molds okay around here? I think this is Dog Vomit slime mold?
ChocoboEnthusiastSlime molds are so grossly amazing. And the common names are such a trip.
Slime molds are great. They feed on bacteria and other microorganisms. I have a big rotting stump in my backyard that they occasionally appear on.
I bet you could get some cool footage if you put a time lapse camera on it.
Last time I found one, I did this. You can really see the movement with a time-lapse. It's like it's breathing slowly - expanding and contracting. I got so fascinated it took a while to notice the oyster mushrooms right next to it.
makingStuffForFunPlease say that you have that video and that you can share it.
I did!
How long was this video recorded?
It was about an hour.
