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!

It's Tell a Friend Friday! Please enjoy this photo I took of a fascinating little slime mold (probably Stemonitis spp, likely S. fusca, with a little insect buddy.) Then tell someone you know about my work--you can s hare this post, or send it to someone you think may be interested in my natural history writing, classes, and tours.

Stemonitis splendens, chocolate tube slime mold, has joined the party at the Patch via an old sycamore log. That's three species of slime mold that have made an appearance so far!
