Tired of Looking

Okay, I give up. Does anyone know which slime mold this is? I find it most frequently on decomposing pine logs. The sporangia are stalked and tend to turn brown with age. It's driving me crazy...

Another Slime Mold


Treebeard and I think we have this IDed, but we aren't sure so I'm not posting a scientific name. We'll just enjoy the fact that it is yet another manifestation of slime mold and leave it at that.


Here's some more of the same stuff. Looks kind of like fish roe...

Woodland caviar, anyone?

It's Everywhere!


Yikes! Good thing I'm not the paranoid type or else I might think this slime mold stuff was taking over the world. Today I found these clumps of fruiting bodies just outside the office over in the work swamp. Interesting...

Wish I could tell you, but I haven't a clue...

Update: May possibly be a slime mold of the genus Stemonitis. Seems to most closely fit the description of Stemonitis splendens, aka Chocolate Tube Slime, aka Pipe-cleaner Slime, as given in our copy of the _National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms_.
