  1. When you take the trouble to put "a macro picture of a slime mold" in the image description, please, that is not a picture description and therefore, I'm sorry to write, useless.

    Here are some good examples how to write short and to the point image descriptions, so many more people can enjoy your pictures: uxdesign.cc/how-to-write-an-im

  2. 507 Sexes

    Physarum polycephalum is a slime mold with 507 sexes.

    Can you imagine what their version of Tindr must be like?

  3. A slime mould, probably Tricia varia - a common species often found on wet wood. The orange spheres are the sporangia, the fruiting bodies. Despite their appearance and name, they aren't fungi, but a collective of single-celled organisms that can move.

  4. Our blob seems to enjoy its petri dish and the oatmeal we're feeding it. Our 10yo is super hyped 😁 Definitely an experiment I'd recommend for kids, though changing the substrate every 3 days is kind of tedious.

  5. Day 1 - Day 3 of reanimating Physarum polycephalum aka slime mold aka the blob lol

    It's so cool how fast it wakes up and starts seeking food !😁

  6. Giving social media another try after a year of radio silence. The algorithmic feedback loops elsewhere burned me out, so I’m hoping for something a bit more organic here.

    I’m a WordPress dev and gamer, but honestly, I'm happiest cultivating various mushrooms and slime molds in my makeshift home lab.

    I'm neurodivergent (ADHD) and live with PTSD from a past near-death experience. It's well-managed these days, but it means I generally steer clear of negativity and conflict to keep my peace of mind.

    I'm a proud Canadian (never the 51st state), but since moving to Quebec, I've fallen in love with the province's history and culture, and I'm working hard to learn the language.

    (spores fell on this cap and gave it a moustache or eyes and a mouth lol😁)

  8. The tiny things are vanishing under ice and still too little snow. A few weeks ago I found these beautiful slime molds among the mosses on a decomposing tree.
    Maybe Badhamia utricularis.

  9. @cenobyte

    Well, you're also h. sapiens, rather than myxogastria. Better looking goes with the territory 😉

  10. The blobs keep growing as I add more oats.

    It's so unusual seeing a single cell get this big. And look at the pattern on the center.

  11. Step 2

    The Physarum (I'm going to need 2 nicknames, feel free to contribute) was dormant on dry paper in its sclerotium form. I cut two pieces and added two drops of water to resurrect them. And some oats for breakfast.

    Now we wait. Good luck, Phil and Phyllis.

  12. Step 1

    Preparing a couple of Agar petris for an art excercise. I'll be trying to grow Physarum polycephalum.

    Considering this is my first attempt to kinda bioart, this could go from very wrong to somewhat not terrible. But it'll be fun sharing some pics.

  14. Quand tout à coup, traversant la terrasse du "centre de village", indescriptible, indestructible… un blob !
    (cris d'effrois dans ton fil 😜 ) Physarum polycephalum.
