Semicircle of slime molds, little white tube-like forms on a thin black footstalk. They receive direct light from above in the image, so they cast shadows toward the lower part of the image.

Mass of tubular light pink forms, attached to the rotten wood by a short dark thin stem, cutting diagonally through the vertical image.

Arcella sp. ambling across a microscope slide using its pseudopods. Arcella spp are testate amoebae (have a shell, usually made of protein). Observed during the US National Park Service's Centennial Bioblitz at Piscataway National Park, Maryland.

Phase contrast illumination, speed: ca. 1.5x.

Have you ever wondered about slime molds? Just the name should spark some curiosity, or revulsion. Here's a very short article on slime molds in Bay Nature that packs a lot of info in a short one pager. Bay Nature is a fine nature journal oriented to the Bay Area but many things bay area apply to the west coast. I would frequently travel to the bay area for work projects and always found time to explore. #slimemold #fungi #protista #nature #BayNature #BayArea
