Time-lapse of a slime mold pulsating

I’ve seen this incredible slime mold time lapse video making the rounds on social media, so I decided to duet it (please let me know who filmed the original video so I can tag them). This is #ChocolateTubeSlimeMold or #Stemonitis going from it’s nascent egg-like stage into elongated yellowish tubes that quickly turn into brown powdery columns. These are the spore bearing sporangia of this slime mold. Despite going from egg to mature slime mold in as little as 24 hours, these spore laden chocolat

Happy Slime Mold Sunday everyone!! Check out this amazing pulsing #DogVomitSlimeMold #Fuligoseptica captured by my buddy @jawanns. Slime molds are tricky to define biologically, they are not fungi but instead classified as Protista (like amoebas). They are single celled eukaryotes and merge together into giant motile cells that creepy along the forest floor sucking of organic matter. This moving crawling stage is known as plasmodium, which displays “network intelligence”, meaning it can navigate

Wishing everyone a happy Slime Mold Sunday. These delightfully vibrant squishy pink pimples are #WolfsMilkSlimeMold or #Lycogalaepidendrum. Despite their appealing appearance, these are not edible (they would taste like dirty mold anyhow). The slime filled pimples are the “sporangia” or spore bearing fruiting structures. As they age they darken and become dark purple then brown and dusty (full of spores). At this stage they are squishable and extremely satisfying to the #pimplepopper folks out t

Happy slime mold Sunday. Acellular slime molds (Myxogastria) fuse together to form one giant multinucleated cell, moving and crawling around their environment consuming organic matter in their path. As conditions dictate, they will start forming a spore bearing fruiting body called sporangia. Here you can see the plasmodium “breathing” in timelapse as the intracellular flow of cellular components shifts every ~90s in a process called cytoplasmic streaming. Slime molds display the ability to navi
