I've been looking for slime mold everyday now for two weeks and found nothing! Conditions have been ripe for finding some fresh stuff as well. This was from my last find back at the end of August.
Can't seem to find an ID for it yet...
Seen on the stump in the forest. It was easy to see because of it's bright colour :)
Scrambled egg slime (Fuligo septica) is a species of plasmodial slime mold, and a member of the Myxomycetes class. Slime molds were formerly classified as fungi but are no longer considered part of that kingdom. Although not forming a single monophyletic clade, they are grouped within the paraphyletic group referred to as kingdom Protista. Many slime molds, mainly the "cellular" slime molds, do not spend most of their time in this state. When food is abundant, these slime molds exist as single-celled organisms. When food is in short supply, many of these single-celled organisms will congregate and start moving as a single body. They feed on microorganisms that live in any type of dead plant material. They contribute to the decomposition of dead vegetation, and feed on bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. For this reason, slime molds are usually found in soil, lawns, and on the forest floor, commonly on deciduous logs. Fuligo septica's plasmodium may be anywhere from white to yellow-gray It is common with a worldwide distribution, and it is often found on bark mulch in urban areas or woodlands after heavy rain or excessive watering. Their spores are produced on or in aerial sporangia and are spread by wind.

Wykwit piankowaty (Fuligo septica) – gatunek śluzowca. Śluzowce dawniej zaliczano do grzybów, potem do protistów grzybopodobnych. Z przyczyn historycznych w podręcznikach traktowane są jako klasa roślin zarodnikowych, a w szczególności grzybów. Jednak bliższe są grupom typowo zwierzęcym. Wskazuje na to występowanie form ruchomych. Podczas cyklu rozwojowego śluzowców występują dwie formy: mobilny pełzak (myksameba, pływak) oraz ruchliwa śluźnia. Ponieważ nie są bezpośrednio spokrewnione ani z roślinami, ani ze zwierzętami, ani nawet z grzybami, niektóre ich cechy przypominają cechy roślin, grzybów albo zwierząt. Żywią się bakteriami, grzybami (nieraz pochłaniają całe owocniki grzybów), pierwotniakami. Ich stadium wegetatywne stanowi wielojądrowa śluźnia, która pełza za pomocą nibynóżek. Wykwit piankowaty tworzy cytrynowożółte, śluzowate, bezkształtne plazmodium, które nie zawiera chlorofilu i nie posiada błon cytoplazmatycznych. Jest rozprzestrzeniony na całej kuli ziemskiej. Zazwyczaj rośnie na martwych pniakach, pniach drzew, opadłych liściach i innych resztkach roślinnych, ale może rosnąć również na żywych roślinach. W Polsce spotykany jest głównie w lecie i jesienią, po deszczach i jest pospolity na terenie całego kraju.
Ich nehme an es ist eine Art von Schimmel- oder Rindenpilz. Hier auf einem Buchenblatt. Genau gleiche Büschel waren auch auf dem Buchenast auf dem das Blatt lag.
Stack with 44 frames.
From a wet plate collodion negative on 5x7 inch glass. Shot using the Voigtlander Petzval lens, using a home-made Waterhouse stop. (No idea what aperture that ends up being - lets say f5.6!)
Collodion was Quinn's Negative, aged about 2 months. Exposure was 3.5 minutes.
This plate was made with the goal of making albumen prints of it, so it’s very contrasty and the highlight areas are quite dense.i hope this will work well with albumen. I haven’t done an albumen printing 18 months (I found the process bewildering and laborious, but I need to get over that) and now I feel compelled to try again. The prints are likely going to be much more beautiful than inkjet prints from a scan!
Old mushroom, taken over by another fungi, probably ‘Spinellus fusiger’, commonly know as 'the bonnet mold' of in Dutch ‘knopschimmel’.
“Bonnet mold (EN)
Spinellus fusiger, commonly known as the bonnet mold, is a species of fungus in the Zygomycota phylum. It is a pin mold that is characterized by erect sporangiophores (specialized hyphae that bear a sporangium) that are simple in structure, brown or yellowish-brown in color, and with branched aerial filaments that bear the zygospores. It grows as a parasitic mold on mushrooms.
During the reproductive phase of its life cycle, Spinellus fusiger grows throughout the cap of the mushroom host, eventually breaking through to produce radiating reproductive stalks (sporangiophores) bearing minute, spherical, terminal spore-containing structures called sporangia. Ultimately, the spores in the sporangia are released after the breakdown of the outer sporangial wall, becoming passively dispersed to new locations via wind, water, and insects.” - source: en.wikipedia.org
“Knopschimmel (NL)
Knopschimmel (Spinellus Fusiger) heeft een knopje van Ø 1 mm dat eerst doorschijnend wit is en bij rijping zwart verkleurt. Het steeltje van 5 tot 15 mm is waterig wit doorschijnend.
Knopschimmel komt vanuit en op hoedjes van kleinere soorten plaatjeszwammen. Het is een saprofiet en mogelijk parasitair.” - bron: www.soortenbank.nl
Aí está o molde para quem quiser fazer!!
fica bem bonitinha e é bem fácil de costurar!
achei o molde na nat, mas não sei mais em que site...

Excited to find this impressive slime mold in Thetford Forest! Can anyone help with ID please? I wonder, is it Insect Egg Slime Mold (Leocarpus fragilis)?
These are the polymer molds that I made yesterday from my friend's belt. Although they seemed nice, I didn't like them when I used them with metal clay.
Red Raspberry Slime Mold, aka Tubifera ferruginosa, was given it's common name for obvious reasons (it resembles Red Raspberries). Found growing on the trunks of decaying trees, Red Raspberry Slime is easy to spot thanks to its bright red color and tendency to grow in clusters that resemble the popular fruit.
The Least Known Gifts of the Forest -
I don’t give molds much thought because they are undesired organisms that ruin my leather bags and bathroom ceilings. Today I devote some time to thinking about them. What happens if we leave bread uneaten for two weeks? Fuzzy green colonies for certain will disperse confidently like spread butter on toast. What happens if we reuse, day after day, sweated socks without washing? We get Athlete's Foot in no time shooting up between toes. With this in mind, not all fungi are grisly looking or harmful by nature causing disease. There are plenty of beneficent ones that are quite amazing in colors and shapes. Hereafter, this truth comes to life when I enter the earthy grounds at midday. My attention was on the green beards on rocks when a timeworn trunk with pale lichens clinging beckoned me to come and see. An established presence huddling in twos and threes caught my ears.
“Hello! Hello! Hello!” their tiny voices squeaked.
Obedient to instinct, I bend down and peer at the little matchsticks beaming with glee. Inching closer to the sulfur redheads, I feel their flame. Ooh! Today is such a gorgeous day spent in enchanted woodland. While the sky above me couldn't be a bluer sapphire hue, this offbeat bouquet of microbes in tomato stains looked real pretty. In conclusion I surmise, unloved molds feel anything but common when seen through a lover’s eyes.

Trichia ambigua...
My first Slime Mold discovery. Found up in good old Swineholes Wood. A damp piece of bark lying face down on the ground. Fascinates me this genre of photography :)
