No lab? No problem. In “True slime,” I’ll talk about how I track #myxomycete #biodiversity as a #citizenscientist—collecting, documenting, & contributing to DNA-based biodiversity research. Science isn’t limited to institutions. Join @fundive-fungi.bsky.social www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...

Arcyria helvetica is in there, who knows what else. The @newyorkmyc.org and I continually find “new” to NYC species. @fundive-fungi.bsky.social keep us posted with what you find! Print your own myxobox slime vault: makerworld.com/models/14327... #myxomycete #herbarium #slimemold

So glad my Myxobox slime vault made it through customs. Looking forward to seeing what they are able to find, discover and confirm!

This is the Physarum decipiens I found on this walk. Such a fun & unique park to visit, 10/10 would go there for another walk.

oblonga: 🗣️: /əbˈlɒŋɡə/ — uh-BLONG-uh From Latin oblongus, meaning “longish” or “elongated.", the species epithet lends itself to this oblong shaped fruiting body. Let me know if you have a favorite photo out of the 3! #pickone

Physarella: 🗣️: /ˌfɪzəˈrɛlə/ — FIZ-uh-REL-uh From Greek physa (“bladder” or “bubble”) + Latin diminutive suffix -ella (“small”). This Genus is characterized by small globose/oblong sporangia often with lime-containing capillitium.

This is a myxo, I thought I would only ever find in the tropics. Never did I think I would find this in my ow backyard. Lets move on to the eipthet of this genus in the thread below 🧵👇🏼 #slimemoldsunday #myxomycetes #phsarella #prospectpark #protistlove #forestfloorfinds #myxo #slimemold #🦠

First time lapse videographer. Would love some feedback on how to improve. e.g. lighting, shot frequency, etc... This was shot in manual focus. #timelapse #videographer #slimemold

The species epithet ferruginosa also has Latin origins: "ferrugo" = rust "osa" = full of So ferruginosa means “full of rust”, describing the reddish-brown color these fruiting bodies take on when fully mature. #protistlove

But its scientific name tells a different story. The genus Tubifera comes from Latin roots: "tubus" = tube "fera" = bearing Together, this means “tube-bearing”, referring to the clustered tubular sporangia that define the genus. #alleypond #plasmodialslime

🦠: Tubifera ferruginosa 📍: Alley Pond Park This immature Tubifera ferruginosa is strikingly easy to spot in the field. In this stage, it certainly lives up to its colloquial name: Raspberry Slime Mold #slimemoldsunday #myxomycetes #tubifera #raspberry #raspberryslimemold #forestfloorfinds #🦠

Spotted on a leaf in Forest Park, but who knows where else it’s hiding in NYC. Keep your eyes peeled for twinkles in the leaf litter. ✨🦠 #slimemoldsunday #myxomycetes #forestpark #protists #lamproderma

At 1000x magnification, the spores show evenly spaced warts, no grouping. Another clue for ID! Nature’s sparkle — inside and out. #microscopy #plasmodialslime

There’s a “collar” at the top of the stalk — something also seen in Collaria arcyrionema, a close cousin that used to be grouped with Lamproderma.

trybuch.com @trybuch.com · 09/06/2025

Its internal structure is just as striking: Capillitium branches directly from a short columella, forming a scaffold that persists after the outer wall dissolves. Very architectural!

The species epithet scintillans is Latin for sparkling, glittering, twinkling — perfect for this shimmer-covered beauty that catches the light like foil.

trybuch.com @trybuch.com · 09/06/2025

The genus name Lamproderma comes from Greek: lampros = bright, splendid derma = skin ✨ A reference to the shiny, metallic peridium these slime molds are known for. #myxomycetes

🦠 Lamproderma scintillans 📍 Forest Park, Queens Just documented for the first time on iNaturalist in NYC — and during a @newyorkmyc.org walk! Likely seen before, but now it’s officially on record. #slimemoldsunday

Amazing work being done to empower NYMS members:

O. Favoginea would be my bet. Microscopy would confirm.

No. Complex Lycogala epidendrum is non-toxic. No known Myxomycetes are.
