🦠: Tubifera ferruginosa 📍: Alley Pond Park This immature Tubifera ferruginosa is strikingly easy to spot in the field. In this stage, it certainly lives up to its colloquial name: Raspberry Slime Mold #slimemoldsunday #myxomycetes #tubifera #raspberry #raspberryslimemold #forestfloorfinds #🦠

📆: 6.8.2025 📍: Cloves Lake Park We had a hot, dry, and somewhat windy week. So, though it did rain a fair bit, our pop-up walk in Clove Lakes Park, Staten Island didn't deliver a lot of mushrooms. There were some interesting slime molds, a few fine ascos and some birds nest fungi.

This artist's conk was signed by @novapatch.is great-grandparents and has been in their family for over 100 years! Collected in Clark Lake, Michigan in 1923. A living (well, once living) piece of family history. #fungi #artistsconk #mycology #mushroomart #heirloom #clarklake #michigan
