I usually limit the numbers of photos I dump into one post but most of this summer Wisconsin has been in an extreme drought, and a week or so ago we got a bit of rain. Although it hasn't rained again since, many of the logs are still wet, so slime molds are still kicking, or at the very least I can find relatively fresh fruiting bodies. Anyway I found all these in my local woods today, in no particular order: Arcyria species (A. obvelata, A. denudata, A. cinerea), Stemonitis, Physarum polycephalum, Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, Lycogala epidendrum, maaaaybe Physarum viride, and maaaaaaybe Lamproderma. I am too excited not to dump them all at once. Enjoy!

Lamproderma muscorum first appears as a white ooze emerging out of a log. Within days the ooze starts to turn into small ‘beads’. Eventually they get pinkish with intense iridescence at torch light.

What’s the best slime mould

I feel incredibly under qualified to answer this question, so I'm going to write a letter to me MP insisting we do a national inquiry to answer this urgent question.

In the mean time I am a big fan of the iridescent obovoid Lamproderma species (or any of the shiny ones).

But can't go past Fuligo septica for it's ubiquity and sci-comm value for raising awareness that these diverse and incredible organisms, and want to reinforce here my position that 'witch's butter' is a cooler and more evocative common name than 'dog vomit slime mold'

كرات الديسكو البراقة الجميلة هذه ليست عيش الغراب أو الفطريات ، على الرغم من وجودها في أرضية الغابة.

Lamproderma muscorum هي في الواقع فطريات مخاطية ، أو عفن طيني. عادةً ما يكون عفن الوحل كائنات وحيدة الخلية ولكنها تتجمع معًا لتكوين هياكل تكاثرية عندما تكون الظروف البيئية مناسبة.

هذه الكرات الأرجوانية المتقزحة هي المرحلة التناسلية لمستعمرة الأميبا التي شكلت أجسامًا مثمرة لإنتاج الأبواغ وتفريقها ، وهذا هو سبب انتشار العفن اللزج.

إنها ، بصراحة ،

واحدة من أجمل أشكال الحياة وأكثرها غرابة.

A guanaco, the wild form of the llama, arrives to drink at Laguna Seca in Chile’s Patagonia National Park. The 750,000-acre park combines public land with private property donated by Tompkins Conservation Photograph By Tomás Munita

Stunning landscapes: This is among the 15 million acres that Tompkins Conservation has helped protect and preserve. Doug and Kris Tompkins created or expanded 17 national parks in Chile and Argentina. Their rewilding efforts include reintroducing threatened species into these landscapes. Photographs By Jimmy Chin

Gentle, Peaceful, Similar: Part of the beauty of elephants is that these giant creatures exemplify human behavior—they form close bonds, grieve dead relatives, take years to mature. And by observing adult behavior, juvenile elephants take on helping care for younger calves. Above, a female elephant touches a calf with her trunk on their trek to water. In parts of India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia, elephants jostle with people for space in an increasingly human-dominated landscape. Once, these supremely social animals ranged across Asia, into China and as far west as the Euphrates. Now an endangered species, Asian elephants hang on in only about 5 percent of their historic range.

Lamproderma Scintillans! On a forest walk, look in damp areas for tiny, striking slime molds; these stalks topped with jewel-like spheres grow on the edge of a leaf. Andy Sands’s images in this article capture slime molds in the reproductive stage, when they’re easiest to spot. They’re spore-sprouting, rainbow-hued marvels—neither plant nor animal—and full of fascinating surprises. Photograph By Andy Sands

yes! i kind of forgot that slime molds are not considered fungi. i know a lot less about slime molds than i do fungi, but i think theyre super interesting :-)

#assuming this is about the lamproderma and not the earpick fungus bc that is for sure a fungus #pwetty mushwoom
