Fuligo septica Dog Vomit Slime Mold (not a fungus)
Fuligo septica Dog Vomit Slime Mold or Scrambled Egg Slime Mold. While looking for birds in Owl Canyon (Bodega Head State Park, Sonoma County, California), I came across a bright yellow "fungus" and took this photo of it, to identify later. I discovered that it is a slime mold, not a fungus. I inquired about slime mold a little more, and found out how really interesting they can be. Apparently it can "pulsate" and can travel. There are even a couple of videos of this slime mold hunting and finding its "prey" in a maze on Flickr. WOW! I had no idea. If your interested in seeing the maze visit "myxonz". He has two different mazes for his "pet" plasmodium.
