Tapioca slime mold (Brefeldia maxima) on a dead tree.
Siatecznica okazała (Brefeldia maxima) na martwym drzewie.
Slime Mold has a terrible name. I think this stuff is beautiful and so interesting.
It could be: Trichia decipiens.
Most of our forest has dried out again from lack of rain, but this log was softy and 'punky' so it has absorbed the moisture from our foggy mornings.
Smile on Saturday!:-)

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...

Fuligo septica, or Dog Vomit Slime Mold (some prefer Scrambled Egg Slime Mold) on rotting wood.
In the Anacortes Community Forest Lands.
Shows up on rotting wood a while after a rain this time of year.
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.

Żółty śluzowiec na pniaku w lesie. Rzucał się w oczy tym swoim jaskrawym kolorem :)
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.
You know, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold

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
Tapioca slime mold (Brefeldia maxima) on a decaying tree stump.
Siatecznica okazała (Brefeldia maxima) na butwiejącym pieńku.
Leocarpus fragilis.
Haven't a clue what this slime mold goes by. Google gave me some strange suggestions. Probably some form of Physarum but unsure with the white stalk.
I found it on a pine branch with lots of others in various states of decay. The tiny brown dots are obviously the spores from older fruiting bodies.
