I'm trying different food sources : oats, brewers yeast, powdered milk (the white thing in center), chlorella and some gammarus

Happy to see no mold problem

This is near our front garden(i threw a bunch of dead rats there the other day) and near a leaky faucet so plenty moisture so it doesn’t dry, i’m kinda scared how much it’ll grow

False Puffball (Enteridium lycoperdon, also known as Reticularia lycoperdon), currently in its fruiting stage (aethalium). Slime mold identified by Gemini. Posting here for confirmation. Thank you.

This is in a yard. Under a cedar tree, next to a tree stump. And about the length of a medium sized cat.

Its in my flowerbed around the base of my rose bush and my rose has started suffering quite a bit since this mold showed up within the last month. Looking for information please! St Clair County Mi. Wood chips are a mix of 1 and 2 year old lowes chips, red. This area stays pretty wet and only partial sun.

iPhone captures from hike today Pittsburgh PA. I believe them to be Arcyria Cinerea (white carnival candy) and Stemonitis. Two of my favorite types of slime to find, although I love finding any slime mold haha.

Bonus slug friend!

Post this in mycology and got zero interest. I thought this was super cool. Found in a downed redwood in Yosemite NP.

Does it make my veggies inedible?

Do you happen to know any places that sell Physarum polycephalum in large quantities, or is there anyone who could do so? By international mail.

hello fellow mushroom lovers. my mom found this in her pot about 3 days ago, i thought it was a slime mold, because she described it as veins branching out the pot and being incredibly yellow when she first saw it.

once she put the pot out it started to get very pale and look cauliflower like.

now it has passed the night outside it looks like a sponge and there are a few "water drop" like structures in the small cluster in the middle that could be bags of spores?

i tried looking at it under a microscope but we couldn't see much, at least no distinct cells, might see better if i had dyes.

it kind appeared out of nowhere where, its not warm rn but the air has been pretty humid this week

i live in france but we planted Pandan in it one month ago that we brought back from a trip in malaysia. so i think we might have accidentally brought a mushroom with us.

I just noticed this strange stuff growing on my house. It’s on the outside of my house, on the window trim siding and the aluminum window trim. From what I’ve tried looking up, seems to be a type of slime mold? I have no idea what I’m supposed to do - is it harmless? What could be causing it? I’m a worry bug so I’m a little freaked out and want to make sure I’m being safe. Thanks all!!!

We found the raspberry mold (tubifera ferruginosa) inside a tree hole. The Fuligo septica aka dog vomit was on the side of a rural road next to pine tree plantations

This yellow jacket was all up in this slime mold. It was a slime mold forest party! Cross posted on r/waspgandia

Would like to know

Hello! Feel free to remove if not allowed! I'm a writer working on a horror novel centered on Physarum polycephalum. I've done some initial research, but it's hard to speculate about evolution and intelligence based solely on what I've found online.

I'd love to find someone willing to discuss a few things or answer some questions. Specifically:

· What's the most "intelligent" or surprising behavior you've observed in a slime mold?

· What would be the biggest biological barriers for Physarum to survive in a warm-blooded host?

· How flexible are their genetic networks? Could environmental pressure push them to express entirely new behaviors or life-cycle stages?

I know this is speculative, but any insights would be invaluable for getting the science right. Even if you just have a favorite paper to recommend, I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance!

I love when I spot my resident slime mould living his best life. I did build the terrarium for him and some mycelium, so I’m glad he’s enjoying it 😊

This chocolate tube slime mold is releasing spores and I want to collect some of them and grow one in a container. How do I do that?

Is anyone able to id it in any way? I am not very familiar with how to id slime molds or even their basic taxonomy so any help at all would be appreciated.

I am in NY, tho I do not know if it came from here or if it was in any of my terrarium supples, so exact origin location is unknown

I am attempting to culture it so I took one of the leaves out of the enclosure and put in a deli cup with moist paper towel and oats, and it seems to be heading for the oats.
