This single-cell organism is smarter than a human

True brilliance is always found in the most unsuspecting places, like who would think a slime mould could design a railroad? Read More. https://www.sify.com/science-tech/this-single-cell-organism-is-smarter-than-a-human/

Attention nature lovers! 🌿🌸 Have you ever heard of Metatrichia floriformis, the beautiful slime mould that looks like a flower in bloom? 😍 This fascinating organism produces spore-producing bodies called sporangia, which have a shiny outer dark layer called peridium. When the time comes, this peridium splits open (dehisces) in a way that resembles the petals of a flower, revealing the spores inside. That's why the species is aptly named "floriformis," which means "flower-shaped" in Latin. 🌺🌼🌸 Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature and marvel at the incredible diversity of life on this planet. ❤️ #naturelovers #slimemould #Metatrichiafloriformis #flowering #biodiversity #amazingnature #mushroom #mushrooms #mushroomforaging https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnPF_8sBkb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do you have some funny goblin headcannons? Bc I love the green cats (like a pet) they be the skrunkly ajajkekwjwsjjw they are absolute brainrot for me rn

Ettuaurzhdugdr6dgic 😭😭

Hello, honestly I don't know if my headcanons about the ToA goblins are funny or not but they are as follows;

They're totally capable of speaking trollish and english (and other languages) but simply chose not to out of spite because everyone is so shit to them.

Unionised.

They are the product of what happens when magic meets slimemould, which is how they stay together in A Shape despite not having any bones and basically being muppets filled with upsettingly viscous organic materials.

They reproduce asexually, you know that green gloopy mess they're seen in on the ceilings in the show? That's how they replenish their numbers every day, and why they look like clones of each other, because they essentially are. They hang onto the ceiling, liquefy, glorp around for a bit and divide each cell, regrouping into new bodies when they're done.

Note that little to none of this is canonical to the franchise, just a small group of theories about how they work based on my interpretation of how they're presented.

Chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus)

What you see here doesn’t look like much, but if you’re getting into foraging, it’s worth looking out for, because this is what celebrate edible chicken of the woods looks like as it first emerges. This is an absolutely choice find for a beginniner forager as it’s common, easily spotted, and difficult to confuse with any inedible or poisonous fungi. 

This also looks a lot like some stages of growth for other shelf fungi, or slimemoulds such as Enteridium lycoperdon. If you find something like this, give it a poke - it should be firm, but give a little, and you should be able to mark it with a fingernail or firm prod. It should not feel like a sack containing liquid, and should not feel even as hard as cork. 

It will often be a darker yellowey-orange, even at this stage, and in a day or so it will show more prominent lumps that will grow into the lobes of the mature fungi

Come back in a few days, and it should have grown into a gorgeous harvest of chicken of the woods - you can see what that will look like if you scroll through the posts here.

From my reading of Entangled Life by Merlin Shelldrake found out how scientists have been experimenting with slimemould and its ability to navigate areas. As apart of one experiment it food was placed in a pattern simmilar to train stations in toyko to see how it would connect them.

From this I thought it would be interesting to investigate mold and transport maps in my art.

I find the web-like structures fascinating with how seemingly separate things can be joined together to make something bigger than itself.

More of the only decent slime mold I’ve seen all winter. Will be going to my secret slime forest tomorrow; but it’s just SO dry. . #slimemoldsunday . #ceratiomyxafruticulosa #ceratiomyxa #coralslime #coralslimemold #mycology #macrophotography #macromushroom #shroomsong #mycophile #myxophile #myxomycetes #slimemold #slimemould #slimemouldsunday (at Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2X9H1pZL-/?igshid=nvhm3utsstt0

Fuligo septica, the "dog vomit" slime mold. Don’t you just love these names? Lol Slime mold or slime mould is an informal name given to several kinds of unrelated eukaryotic organisms that can live freely as single cells, but can aggregate together to form multicellular reproductive structures. Slime molds were formerly classified as fungi but are no longer considered part of that kingdom. They feed on microorganisms that live in any type of dead plant material. They contribute to the decomposition of dead vegetation, and feed on bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. ・・・ #growninhaiti #slimemold #slimemould #fuligoseptica #dogvomit #decomposition #foodforest #agroforestry #microorganism #organic #natural #naturescycle #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #nofungicides #texture #slippery https://www.instagram.com/p/BypnONAFLZA/?igshid=xic7gq8px5q1

Working in series, the #paintings get finished in batches. This is the third #painting finished this week. Gilliver 2022 #oiloncanvas 40 x 30cm The #title is after my #studio friend and comrade @alisongill___ who is tall and tells us about the fungal side of life. It’s all there in her own #artwork. This painting resembles #lionsmanefungus or #slimemould. The resemblance is in the process and logic more than appearance. The forms radiate and connect a bit like mycelium.

Back into the Earth with the first flax substrate #Mycelium I grew. Sad that I inadvertently contaminated it with Physarum polycephalum perhaps burying it will allow it to grow away from the slime? 🤷🏻‍♀️ A pic of the agar heart today, lots of overnight growth.... #bioart #remediation #efforts #anatomical #agar #heart #slimemould #back #tothefuture #network (at Toronto, Ontario)

The first slime mold that ever called me was Wolf’s Milk. That one was red. Happy to find this one in the middle of summer. And yes, it hollered at me. The dented one was from my fingernail. . #slimemoldsunday #slimemold #slimemould #wolfsmilk #fungus #notfungus #mushrooms #notmushrooms #mixomycetes #shroomsong #mycologyphotography #mycophilia #spores #lichen #whiteslimemold #yellowslimemold #carposoma #bubbleslimemold #tapiocaslimemold #tinyfungi #funwithfungi #identificationwelcome (at Ukiah, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Casb7pfYD/?igshid=1tvtsb3cjjoxh
