Slime Mold Ahoy!

With all the wet weather we’ve been getting some slime molds (mycomycetes) coming up in the bark mulch outside work. Here is one almost mature. Commonly called the bubble gum slime mold (well as common as any slime mold) it is a Lycogala. It’s spores will be a lovely lavender color when mature.
