You know, a couple days ago I woke up thinking "It's about the time #SlimeMolds should start showing up around here." And sure enough, later that day I found this lovely specimen of Didymium spongiosum! #Myxomycota #Myxomycetes #Myxogastria #nature ๐ฟ
a piece of animal excrement covered in blue myxomycota funghi that grow from it like small flowers.
This is my favourite pic of a piece of shit, taken in the forest while searching for mushrooms.

A brown, crusty mass shaped rather like a stretched out soft pretzel, resting on a bed of moss and surrounded by blackberry and fern leaves.
Rather dessicated Fuligo septica #slimemold I saw a couple weeks ago. #slimemolds #myxogastria #myxomycetes #myxomycota #nature #naturephotography
