Slime mould: NOUN. A simple organism that consists of an acellular mass of creeping jelly-like protoplasm containing nuclei, or a mass of amoeboid cells. When it reaches a certain size it forms a large number of spore cases. Oxford Dictionary
I’ve posted about slime moulds before but they continue to fascinate me and I continue to find more and more of them so I thought I’d share more photos.

Truly lovely!
I have “bagged” fewer than half of your examples, but a few others besides.
I love the ones that look like frost.
The porridge… not so much.

You always make me look at things in a completely different way! I always thought “mould” was bad and disgusting, period. But look at all this beauty!! 💚

These are very interesting and wonderful images, Annie! Like me, your eye is drawn to such tiny wonders. Some folk probably think me crazy, but I have always had an appreciation and a fascination for the world of fungi. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
