obviously these are both #stemonitis but you would be surprised how many people it would trick.

Rechts: Beschreibung des Bildes „Wunderkerzen, die sich ängstlich aneinander schmiegen, bevor sie angezündet werden? Natürlich nicht. Vielmehr handelt es sich um Schleimpilze der Gattung Stemonitis. Diese bilden schlanke, zylindrische Fruchtkörper aus, die von langen Stielen getragen werden und oft dichte Kolonien bilden. Damit liefern sie dann manchmal Bilder wie dieses, das der Mikrobiologe Jefferson Brendon Almeida dos Reis von der Universität Brasilia aufgenommen hat.“

#Stemonitis #slimemold going through the motions.

#Slime molds like #stemonitis and wolfs milk #Lycogala can change a lot in 2 days.

#Stemonitis feel like they should be an easy genus to ID to species level. But the truth is theres heaps of them, and the fact they look alike makes it harder to tell them apart. Still, you catch them at rave party stage like this and its sweet as!

Slime Mold Snow Day! From a hike a year ago near #snoqualmie #stemonitis

An image of the colloquially named chocolate tube slime mold on rotting wood. The genus name is Stemonitis. It looks like brown bristles coming out of the wood. They are attached via delicate black strands to the wood. The back of the image shows a later stage of development, where the fruiting bodies have started to decompose. They are covered in white.

Because sometimes the animal like slime molds just roll that way :)
