yeah I said it

Found a stemonitis slime mold today

"Slime mold" is a popular political insult, but not a very fitting one. Slime molds are actually the smartest and safest molds, in many ways smarter and safer than politicians.

If peanuts were described online like slime molds: "Peanuts are a Fabales paste associated with grocery stores. Neither a pea nor a nut, they are related to algae (although their taxonomic placement is an unknowable mystery). Peanuts are potentially lethal and kill thousands of children each year.

Badhamia crassipella

Today I worked to reclaim forest from cats claw vine, with dagger and venom. It was humid and damp and wow @regularslimeguy.bsky.social you would have loved it! The floor was #slimes. A few quick snaps I thought you would enjoy.

So happy to announce our new preprint, “A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes.” We cultured a novel amoeba from Lassen Volcanic NP (CA, USA) that divides at 63°C (145°F) 🔥 - a new record for euk growth! #protistsonsky 🧵

Forams are Rhizarian amoebas that build shells & mostly live on the sea floor, but this antarctic species collects diatoms to use as floaties

Yesterday morning I noticed a slime mold growing in one of my aquariums. So of course I set up a timelapse camera!

Caught another slime mold timelapse

This is the most unusual Slime Mold I have ever came across. I needed assistance in identifying it and the verdict was it is a False Puffball Slime Mold. The color is so shiny and unnatural I actually smelled it to make sure it wasn't painted. #Hedgewatch #slimemold #fungi

oh hello

tripe of the woods

Collodarians are amoebas related to kelp & diatoms. Thousands of them hold hands to form jelly tubes that can grow up to 10 feet long. They keep a garden of algae in the center of the tube, but they also grab prey with their long creepy fingers. They mostly drift but some can contract, sink, or rise
