It's Tell a Friend Friday! Please enjoy this photo I took of a fascinating little slime mold (probably Stemonitis spp, likely S. fusca, with a little insect buddy.) Then tell someone you know about my work--you can s hare this post, or send it to someone you think may be interested in my natural history writing, classes, and tours.

Apparently it is #pinksunday as well as #slimemoldsunday on my Instagram today. This may or may not be related to the pink blob and/or the blazing orange plasmodium I posted this morning. . . #myxomycetes #slimemold #pinkslimemold #pink #myxomycology #plasmodium #mycomania #orangeslimemold #slimemoldsofinstagram #mycology #spores #shroomsong #myxomania (at Monterey County Military & Veterans Affairs Office) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7zgKZHJiYK/?igshid=1oshpujprsr8f
