Fuligo septica var flava

Wild scrambled eggs. Fuligo septica. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

How it started: How it ends:

Ant for scale - Today on my lunch walk I found a slime mold species I haven’t seen before. Physarum viride (thanks to @regularslimeguy.bsky.social for the identification). #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

Arcellinids are just like you and me www.instagram.com/reel/DYulmB7... www.instagram.com/tardibabe

If peanuts were described online like slime molds: "Peanuts are a Fabales paste associated with grocery stores. Neither a pea nor a nut, they are related to algae (although their taxonomic placement is an unknowable mystery). Peanuts are potentially lethal and kill thousands of children each year.

Badhamia crassipella

Today I worked to reclaim forest from cats claw vine, with dagger and venom. It was humid and damp and wow @regularslimeguy.bsky.social you would have loved it! The floor was #slimes. A few quick snaps I thought you would enjoy.

Saying goodbye to 2025 with one photo per month. May. #goodbye2025 #newyears #photography

Slime mold, Arcyria obvelata. This cluster of sporangia is about 1.5cm wide. NWT, Canada. #slime #myxo #fungifriends

When you’re cold, they’re cold. Pick up slime molds you find and take them into your home. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

Slime mold, Arcyria stipata. This specimen is about 3” across. At Yellowknife, NWT, Canada.

So happy to announce our new preprint, “A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes.” We cultured a novel amoeba from Lassen Volcanic NP (CA, USA) that divides at 63°C (145°F) 🔥 - a new record for euk growth! #protistsonsky 🧵

Different stages in the life of Badhamia utricularis. Kicin, Wielkopolska (western Poland). #slimemoulds #slimemolds #śluzowce #Myxogastria #Eumycetozoa #Amoebozoa

Forams are Rhizarian amoebas that build shells & mostly live on the sea floor, but this antarctic species collects diatoms to use as floaties

Yesterday morning I noticed a slime mold growing in one of my aquariums. So of course I set up a timelapse camera!

Caught another slime mold timelapse

This is the most unusual Slime Mold I have ever came across. I needed assistance in identifying it and the verdict was it is a False Puffball Slime Mold. The color is so shiny and unnatural I actually smelled it to make sure it wasn't painted. #Hedgewatch #slimemold #fungi

I respectfully disagree with the critics about those venom movies

oh hello

tripe of the woods

Collodarians are amoebas related to kelp & diatoms. Thousands of them hold hands to form jelly tubes that can grow up to 10 feet long. They keep a garden of algae in the center of the tube, but they also grab prey with their long creepy fingers. They mostly drift but some can contract, sink, or rise

Slime nets were once grouped with slime molds, but they are actually related to diatoms & kelp! Like their other relative the water mold, they are similar in many ways to a fungus. Unlike slime molds, slime nets 1) decay living & dead plants 2) maintain separate cells 3) have immobile networks

In this video, our slime mold hero heads toward the honey to eat up all the glucose, then sets up shop farming microbes in yogurt town!

from www.instagram.com/yeweijun98 Slime molds eat the microbes on decaying plants but not the microbes on decaying animals. Badhamia (Physarum) polycephala is an unusually adventurous eater who also enjoys mushrooms, oats, and probably a number of other things! I wonder what's up with the peanut

Slime mold beetles are cuter than other beetles

Since I don’t have a microscope, my slime mold identification methodology is: 1. Look at it 2. Poke it 3. Look at it again next day
