They sure are, Charlie. It was only when I looked at the photos on my computer that I noticed in photo 6 there is, just beneath the white slime mold, also a dark brown almost black phase. I wonder if it's the same species, sure looks that way.
Slimemold are fascinating ....especially if you can get the different stages ..these are just starting out .
