i dont like cold. but i sadly canot travel the comming time, therefore have to wait till summer. so long i can shot the fruitingbodies which are sometimes hard to id, since the colors are strong variate. (from yellow to red for 1 species). Most relyable should be microscopic research, but the most of us just/when even do it as hobby, who has a real good mic. and the infos about the spores !! cheers good luck at your slime mold id-ing !!
You can also travel south Alexkonig.
Here,two weeks ago, I could still find plasmodium but this week started to froze during the night, so I think I will only find fruiting bodies now. But Madrid is very cold in winter, 600 meter above the sea level, I guess it will be easy to find in the south or nearer to the coast
no problem, hope it will be helpfull id them. I'm recently also completly facinated by plasmodial slime molds, Here/now in nl i sadly, just find fruitingbodies and no plasmodium anymore (i have to wait till next year, warmer season) . i would like to have a plasmodial pet-slime mold at my terrarium. he would be well fed !! Physarum polycephalum will i have. Have seen him in the summer , know where to search. !!
Thanks Alexkonig, slime molds are amazing and fascinating, I still have a couple to post. I am trying first to identify them son thanks again for the links.
hi very nice, i know "it;s no fungus" but since mycologen research those "plasmodial slime molds", i will set them still under "fungi". (every one his own. I saw you had found some, and i thought, maybe these links are helpfull for you. keep going with the slime mold posting, i love it.
