Statistically, my pet cat is more likely to eat me than my pet slime.

Okay @harry-herrie.bsky.social. Hier wat andere foto’s van de goudjakhals die we afgelopen zaterdag ergens langs de Groninger waddenkust zagen.

De behoedzaamheid van het prachtige dier dier was mooi om te zien, geen spoor van paniek, maar wel wegwezen richting een plek zonder mensen.

The spore organs look like beans.

im starting a mycorrhizal network so if your a plant or another fungus or just have a rootlike structure for some other reason (i dont judge) you can join it by sinking into some soil near you

Slime mold flowers.

#slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends
Fuligo septica slime mold on wet tissue paper. It is bright yellow and backlit to show a dramatic silhouette.

I can see this moss 1000 times and still stop and go yeah, that’s some good moss.

#moss
Some thick fluffy moss, star shaped. It’s at the foot of some trees.

Looking at tree bark, I found this fungus that looks like amethyst.

Colors neutral and unedited.
#fungifriends
A relatively flat fungus full of holes against tree bark. It is purple like amethyst. There are multiple things this could be and in this stage I’m not sure which it is.

Color photograph of a brown stick about an inch and a half across, held vertically, and covered with 30-40 individual bright creamsickle-orange tiny fungi. This photo shows the underside of the magically fantastical Orange Pore Fungus, Favolaschia claudopus. It's hard to describe the pore structure of this invasive species of fungi (in this location), but each tiny rounded heart-shaped mushroom fruiting body has elaborate, almost honeycomb-looking structure, though rounded rather than with straight hexagonal edges. The background shows the out of focus brown duff of the forest floor, with a few flecks of green thrown in there nilly-willy.

My pet slime mold attempting to escape confinement

#slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends
Paper towels, entirely engulfed in yellow slime, inside a plastic container. At the edges of the paper towel, about a hundred thin yellow tendrils are reaching upwards and climbing up the walls of the container.

Today's #JanuArty theme is #insect and you want me to choose just one 😂

Ok, here's a very old one but one of my favorite insects and people always seem to get a kick out of the flying shrimp. Bonus inspiration photo taken by me in comment!
Closeup drawing of a clearwing hummingbird moth. It has a shrimp shaped body covered in rusty fuzz on the back and tail, white on chest, and green on the head. It has lovely wings that are outlined in black but see through. It is feasting on some fantastical looking purple blooms.

#moss and algae.

Annoyingly, this bright orange stuff is a green algae. I almost got mad the first time someone told me that.

Gnome house, three floors.
Holes in a tree stem that look like a front door and two windows above it.

Been paying attention to tree bark lately.
Close up of bark of a white birch. It has ripped bark like pieces of torn up paper. There are pinkish brown horizontal stripes on the white.

Lunch walk slime mold.

#slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends
Hundreds of little yellow orbs on a wet tinder conk on a tree. They are fruiting bodies of a trichiales slime mold.
