stemonitis sp.

Pokers in the fire. Ripening slime mould fruiting bodies

Physarum sp. A Slime mould. Tiny, 1-2 mm tall. Cheepi Ck., Cairns.

Shotgun fungi (Pilobolus spp.)

Okay who stops to look at equine manure on a hot humid sticky ... nasty day?

Me.

I just had to take a shot of the curious 'stuff' growning there.

Tiny world of Fungi/Slime Mold.

Apparently it shoots out its spores.

Is that cool or what?

Physarum sp. from last year

New! From Tamagosenbei!

Mizugomo has created a slime fantasy of hair, as well as, the toxic barrels behind me, available at - The Nightmare Event

I'm also wearing Tamagosenbei's Goblin Mouth Necklace & Goblin Bento Fingers! Available now at - Panic of the Pumpkin

Coral slime (Ceratomyxia fruticulosa var. flexuosa) growing on a dead tree.

Śluzek krzaczkowaty (Ceratomyxia fruticulosa var. flexuosa) rosnący na martwym drzewie.

I'm guessing Stemonitis, tho I've only seen a yellow one twice before and not at this stage.

I couldn't believe it when I spotted these beautiful little stems on a tree trunk today. I've literally dreamt about finding these! They're so tiny and fragile.

Growing on Burnt Willow. Lightning struck the tree last year and it had to be cut down. All the inside was burnt away. The stump is hollow and yet the tree has begun growing again.

... slime molds.

I'm not sure if we have the same species here but there seems to be 4 distinct types. The bright white fresh ones, some fruiting bodies have turned black, some are just cracking open and the rest the spores have left.

Mites in the top right corner. Invisible to the naked eye!

Aging sporangia on the base of a dead frond on the trunk of a 30 year old fan palm cluster. Similar to the sporangia in the comment but somewhat smaller at 1-1.5 mm in height, with a different shape, ornamentation, and disintegration sequence. Thought to be a different but related species that will be looked for again next year.

Perichaena depressa

Unearthly fruitbodies of a slime mold, growing on a well-rotted log.

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 :)

Size reference in the comments....

Found at Abraham's Woods SNA in southern Wisconsin. Green County, Wisconsin, USA.

Maybe all Trichia decipiens? Three different maturation levels within a few inches, oldest in front to youngest in back? Found on fallen tree in hardwood forest.

Newly emerged sporangium of a slime mould, yet to be identified. The fruiting body is less than 1mm high. 24 February 2022. Ealing, London, England, UK.

(I'm adding this to fungi Flickr groups - I realise that's not technically the right home for it).

Various stages and color variations of Trichia decipiens.

Arcyria sp. in various stages of growth. Found growing on a half submerged decaying tree branch within the New Jersey Pinelands.

found this beauty on the walk, must come back with macro lens

My daughter has an obsession with making slime, I have an obsession with taking photos of it. The texture is fantastic. To make the slime is a process, so I wanted the primary colors, for the assignment. I love how I captured her fingers swirling the slime.

Coral Slime I think on rotting wood and moss.

Physarum cinereum on my lawn

While we were wandering along the path through some of the forested edges of Kings Park one of our group pointed out this rather amorphous thing wefting its way though a small part of the undergrowth. It turns out it is a slime mould. A google lens search calls it a Mucilago custacea but given it was in Perth it could be specific to that area. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_mold

Lycogala terrestre

A slime mould - Lycogala terrestre (plasmodium)

This soft pink mass is the plasmodium of the slime mould species Lycogala terrestre (the plasmodium is the stage during which the organism is mobile, slimy, and feeds on bacteria). Growing here on an old tree stump.
