Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa by Ben Ballard

Some friends I brought home to look at under the microscope. Top: wolf's milk slime mold (Lycogala epidendrum). Middle: admittedly I did not even see these liverworts with the naked eye - they came home on the same piece of wood as the wolf's milk, and I was overjoyed to have discovered their presence. Bottom: Coral slime mold (Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa).

June 24, 2023: This week's slime mold guest at The Patch on Telfair is Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, or white coral slime mold. It makes me think of snow, too. Beautiful.

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!

Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa – 01.12.23

[microcosmicobservations]

I usually limit the numbers of photos I dump into one post but most of this summer Wisconsin has been in an extreme drought, and a week or so ago we got a bit of rain. Although it hasn't rained again since, many of the logs are still wet, so slime molds are still kicking, or at the very least I can find relatively fresh fruiting bodies. Anyway I found all these in my local woods today, in no particular order: Arcyria species (A. obvelata, A. denudata, A. cinerea), Stemonitis, Physarum polycephalum, Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, Lycogala epidendrum, maaaaybe Physarum viride, and maaaaaaybe Lamproderma. I am too excited not to dump them all at once. Enjoy!

Honeycomb Slime Mold!

This is kind of embarrassing, but I’ve only just discovered that Slime molds are, in fact, NOT FUNGI, but instead Protozoans!

I need to learn more about this sort of stuff. 😓

I think this is honeycomb coral slime mold (ceratiomyxa fruticulosa), but my slime knowledge is nowhere near where I'd like it to be.

[artofmaquenda]

Two really cool slime molds on the same log (at least i think it's two) I'm thinking ceratiomyxa porioides and ceratiomyxa fruticulosa..

Super neat textures 🧐

Ringless honeys + Ceratiomyxa sp. + Amanita sp.
