RE: Fuligo septica - Dog Vomit Slime Mold
I found this guy while hiking the other day. I had to do a double take because I thought it was either a marshmallow or someone's tongue. Apparently it too is a slime mold.
Awesome! So weird, you might reasonably mistake that for discarded fluff or a melted marshmallow. In fact I would guess it's young Enteridium lycoperdon, which I've never seen in person.
Of course sometimes these things really are just gross detritus. I picked up what I thought was a plasmodium once and turned out to be someone horrible loogie! It was pretty gross.
