The smartest slime [video]

This spring I have been collecting pictures of the various fungi and slime molds in my yard. One of the stunnning things is how quickly they can change from slimy and wet to dried out and desiccated. In two days one went from wet bubbles (10:38 in the video) to dust on little stems (10:50). The time lapse pictures make me want to set up a camera and record the next one I find.

Here are some very cool images of Myxomycetes. The metallic looking species are very cool, I'd like to see one sometime. https://www.myxotropic.org/gallery/
