A split image showing how the slime mold looks to the naked eye, and under 350x microscopy.
400x microscopy showing the sporocarp cyst splitting open to release spores
400x microscopy of a Physarum sporocarp

More examples of #Physarum growing from #Vasconcellea. These were found in #Bogotá #Colombia.
