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 🧵

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

A phylogenetic tree of plasmodial slime molds & their common features

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
