I have been loving the slime molds popping up this season! I've mostly just been finding Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa and Fuligo septica, but they've been out in force. (I also managed to get an entire class of about ten adults to all gently poke a Lycogala epidendrum to see how it feels different from fungi, which I found vastly entertaining.)

These ridiculous floofs are the sporangia of a slime mould - Heterotrichia oerstedii, or something very like it.

They release impressively pink clouds of spores when they wobble. Which is most of the time. ^_^

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!
