I saw this strange white blorb growing on a stump in my scrap wood/log pile. I wasn't sure if it was a fungus or a slime mold... Turns out it's probably a false puffball - a slime mold cosplaying puffball fungi!

This is a new thing to me... I don't think I've ever found/seen a slime mold before. Usually the wood pile is full of sleeping moths, frogs, fungi and a bazillion tiny invertebrates. So cool to find a new species in there!

Coral slime mold! 》 Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa

Featuring a smooth land slug, genus Deroceras, enjoying a coral slime breakfast.

Found out on the trails while foraging for wild onions! I've seen pictures of this genus on my dash but this was my first time encountering it in person!

me when i unleash sand and dust and particles upon the world

this boiled egg growing out of a dead tree is a slime mold called a false puffball (Reticularia lycoperdon). i don't get to see slime molds often at all so i was pretty happy about it. the video was taken a couple of days later, after it started cracking and releasing spores, and it ended with my thumb covered in shit, so i can't say i recommend the experience

Well, I got so carried away by writing The Everyday Naturalist manuscript tonight that I didn't even realize that it was coming up on midnight. In spite of the fact that I didn't get started until around 6pm after all my various other errands, tasks, and so forth were done, I managed to knock out 3,232 words. The chapter on slime molds, lichens, and other oddities is almost done, and the manuscript now stands at 52,582. My plans for heading to Portland have been put on hold at least until things thaw out in the mountains, so I'm sticking around home tomorrow and giving myself another dedicated writing day.

In the meantime, here: have a photo of some nifty chocolate tube slime molds (Stemonitis splendens.)

A nice, yellow slime mould on moss, grass and dead wood all at the same time.

!!!!! Salmon eggs!!! 》 Trichia decipiens

AAAHHHHH. MY FIRST TRICHIA.

Sorry for yelling, I just. This is my second consecutive first ID of a highly anticipated genus! Yesterday I found my first bird nest fungus and now! My first trichia slime mold!! I am a very happy camper. :') ❤️

Regretably, I did not have my DSLR with me on this excursion, but if I have the time I may return with it tomorrow. Just look at that lovely color! 😭🙏
