June 24, 2023: This week's slime mold guest at The Patch on Telfair is Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, or white coral slime mold. It makes me think of snow, too. Beautiful.

I usually limit the numbers of photos I dump into one post but most of this summer Wisconsin has been in an extreme drought, and a week or so ago we got a bit of rain. Although it hasn't rained again since, many of the logs are still wet, so slime molds are still kicking, or at the very least I can find relatively fresh fruiting bodies. Anyway I found all these in my local woods today, in no particular order: Arcyria species (A. obvelata, A. denudata, A. cinerea), Stemonitis, Physarum polycephalum, Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, Lycogala epidendrum, maaaaybe Physarum viride, and maaaaaaybe Lamproderma. I am too excited not to dump them all at once. Enjoy!

Coral slime mold! 》 Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa
Featuring a smooth land slug, genus Deroceras, enjoying a coral slime breakfast.
Found out on the trails while foraging for wild onions! I've seen pictures of this genus on my dash but this was my first time encountering it in person!

I think this is honeycomb coral slime mold (ceratiomyxa fruticulosa), but my slime knowledge is nowhere near where I'd like it to be.

Two really cool slime molds on the same log (at least i think it's two) I'm thinking ceratiomyxa porioides and ceratiomyxa fruticulosa..
Super neat textures 🧐

Some friends I brought home to look at under the microscope. Top: wolf's milk slime mold (Lycogala epidendrum). Middle: admittedly I did not even see these liverworts with the naked eye - they came home on the same piece of wood as the wolf's milk, and I was overjoyed to have discovered their presence. Bottom: Coral slime mold (Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa).

I am finally home after another busy few days in the Portland area. Thursday I got up SUPER early to make it to Scappoose by 10 for my PCC birdwatching excursion. As always, the east end of the Crown-Zellerbach Trail is a superb place for birds, and we were lucky enough to see plenty of migrating sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis), among many others. Then that evening it was over to the Cascade Park Library in Vancouver (WA, not BC) for my introductory mushroom foraging class, which was very well attended.
I had Friday off, which was much-needed. So after sleeping way later than anticipated, I headed over to Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge for a nice ramble. The highlight of my day was FINALLY getting to see a pair of Pacific mink (Neogale vison energumenos) in the wild! They were having a blast leaping around on semi-submerged trees and swimming in the shallows.
Then yesterday was my Introduction to Mycology with Wildcraft Studio School. This is where I get to go in-depth about how cool fungi are, their biology and ecological roles, and other good stuff. I do get into mushroom identification, but we aren't just focused on edible species (though we did find a few of those, along with a western destroying angel (Amanita ocreata). I was super excited to uncover a couple of slime molds, too--honeycomb coral slime mold (Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa), which I've encountered before, and a new-to-me species, yellow carnival candy slime mold (Arcyria obvelata).
Today is a Writing Day (TM). My goal is to have my first set of deliverables for The Everyday Naturalist done and sent in to my editor by end of day, and then I can buckle down on the whole rest of the manuscript. Wish me luck!

New slimes in the field + little samples! I’m especially happy to have samples of both plasmodium AND sporangia of B. utricularis
Pictures 1 and 2: Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa
Picture 3: Badhamia utricularis
Picture 4: Lycogala epidendrum

Honeycomb Slime Mold!
This is kind of embarrassing, but I’ve only just discovered that Slime molds are, in fact, NOT FUNGI, but instead Protozoans!
I need to learn more about this sort of stuff. 😓
