I didn't see the details of this until I got to computer, those little "honeycombs" look really interesting and yet creepy given the overall vibe. iNaturalist suggest a member ofTrue Slime Molds, genus Metatrichia.
Dit is de slijmzwam stemonitopsis in verschillende groeistadia met een vaste bezoeker, een springstaartje. Ik hou van de iriserende glans van deze slijmzwam vlak voor het sporen.
Het is wel een uitdaging en een geduldwerk om die glans weer te kunnen geven.
Springstaartjes kunnen ook fantastisch schijnen trouwens.
Natuurlijk is er een magische beleving als ik in de natuur ben en dat komt ook tot uitdrukking in mijn werk.
Finally, someone over on iNaturalist got around to IDing this slime mold for us, which I have taken to calling Chocolate Tinsel. I think it's fun to have your own private pet names for fungi and slime molds.
Cool yellow slime mold on a log.
(This is not a fungus but I think mushroom people, if anyone, will be the audience for this.) #fungi#nature#slimeMolds#Texas
“My eyes were starting to learn slime mold. My ways of seeing were altering, thanks to my new friends who were showing me what to look for. What was once invisible was quickly becoming apparent.”

This week on our podcast, we bring you a story from down deep among the forest floor.
