This is not a fungus though it has similar habits. It is not a mold either, despite its name. The slime molds are colonies of amoeba-like organisms that grow and move in what is called a plasmodium: or a super cell with multiple nuclei, spread thin, mostly under the bark of rotting logs. Eventually, the plasmodium transforms into these fruiting bodies which break out to develop and release spores. How wonderful! As are the colors and forms life takes. Sony a6700 on my little tiny tripod. Sigma 16-300 contemporary at ~ 70mm equivalent field of view. Aperture mode with macro modifications (the top photo is two images stacked for depth of field). Processed in Photomator and assembled in FrameMagic. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-22213\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=22213&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-22213\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=22213&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=22213&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Raspberry Slime Mold: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, June 2026 \u2014 I always have my eye out for fungi and other interesting grows.
