#SlimeMoldSaturday #SlimeMold

@MadeMeSmile amazing pictures. I think they may be slime moulds, which are one of the most extraordinary life forms on earth. Much of a slime mould's life is single celled like an amoeba, then they come together and spore, many species looking like tiny toadstools. Amazing pics - thanks for sharing. #SlimeMouldSaturday #SlimeMoldSaturday

Found in the #Forest - Not #Fungus but #SlimeMold on a mossy mound. I'm guessing scat related

Let's celebrate #SlimeMoldSaturday with a gorgous Dog Vomit Slime Mold

Full marks for the best common name ever!

Slime molds are fascinating - this Dog Vomit Slime Mold (Fuligia septica) is not a fungus but rather a member of the protist kingdom and more related to an amoeba. #SlimeMoldSaturday #nature #naturephotography #CampbellRiver #VancouverIsland

Raspberry Slime Mold (Tubifera ferruginosa)

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.
