🤯After the earlier cold snap and brief heatwave, perhaps because of the recent rain and more typical seasonal temperatures, there has been a burst of slime mould activity at Strumpshaw Fen.
I have a backlog of posts to write up – so it could be a while before I get to this burst of activity ☹️
Based on previous observations and a possible identifying feature (a distinctive columella plate) – I think this is Stemonitis flavogenita.

The best time to find slime molds is in the summer after heavy rain. Well, that’s exactly what we have had at the house… or should I say, ON the house??
Slime molds have 2 stages: plasmodial and fruiting. In the first, they are capable of movement. They can climb things. In the second, they can have very cool shaped bodies as they prepare to release their spores.
This one climbed the wooden siding of my house. 😳

"I wish AI need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the tokens that are given to us."
Fredag!
