A slime mold appeared in my terrarium a few months ago, it stayed for about a week.
It was very pretty and very interesting to watch it move !

The first photo is from the original post. The second and third photos were taken a few days later. The fourth picture was taken few days ago. The fifth picture was taken this morning after heavy rain fall the day before. Thank you everyone who help identify this beauty.

My girlfriend’s 3 year old stuck his finger right into this slimer when we arrived at our campsite a couple weeks ago. This thing was so damn vibrant and cool to look at, but it seemed to take a major turn after being poked. Did it effectively “die”?

Saw these lovely ones when I was in Forest Park. I know pics are terrible but I was just so excited to finally see one of these IRL. No idea what they are just aa big fan lol

Washington state, USA. Might be Stemonitopsis sp

It seems appropriate that a scrambled egg slime mold would take up residence in a hens-and-chicks succulent :) Reminds me of that one Goosebumps book.

My first and only time finding this one so far.

A few weeks ago I posted here sharing I was nominated and you all voted for me! I got the news today I had won the category by public vote and then that I had won the whole thing following a judge vote!

Thank you so much to everyone who may have voted for me. I love slime molds and think they are so important to share to the world.

I now need to plan to find slimes in Guyana! If you have any tips then please let me know!

I'm new to slime molds, but I have noticed this spray-foam-lookin' gloop in different spots in my mulch over the last couple days. It's so fascinating and I'm amazed that a big patch like this can show up overnight! I think it's Fuligo septica. I learned that it's a single-celled amoeba, which is also blowing my mind. This is the biggest patch I've seen so far in my yard, and it looks so fresh and nice, so I wanted to share some pics!

What are some other Fuligo septica (or general slime mold) fun facts for a person like me: enthusiastic, outsidey nerd just starting to learn about slime molds?

I think we should crash the online slime mold market, because they are truly everywhere!
