Looks a little like Cordyceps militaris, doesn't it🤔?

Plants, animals, Fungi, Slime mold...🫣😅😅🤓

A supercute family of #Springtails munching some old #Slimemold sclerotiums😍

A closeup of tiny red like eggs structures, lots of them in heaps forming a rug over a charred pine trunk

Structures shaped like cups or nests with little white lentils inside over pine needles

A nice and shiny #Slimemold (I was driving and reversed and stopped just because I saw something red in a charred pine😅), Probably Heterotrichia ferruginea.
And some very dry nest fungi, Crucibulum laeve.

Qué buenas las urracas!🤣
Yo ponía la cámara sin sujeción y tenía miedo de que se la llevara un cuervo (estuvieron jugando con ella) 😅😅🙌🏻🙌🏻
Las tienes in fraganti📸📽️??

Yeah... Better not to eat them😅🤣

Interesting theory... My partner says he always finds yellow ones in the lawns of hotel gardens, and it's a common practice to add chelated iron. Could it be related? 🤔🤔

I'm sure Regular Slime Guy would offer a better response, but Fuligo septica has several subspecies with different colours🌈

Seems to me like Fuligo septica, "dog vomit slime mold". Maybe @regularslimeguy.bsky.social could confirm/deny...

That's what I thought😅

The #springtail video

Some whitish jelly blobs over rotting wet yucca debris

A very cute springtail: it's long, with a cylindrical segmented body and a round anthened head with two black dots that look like eyes. It's done kind of faded blue.

For #SlimeMoldSunday, a plasmodium and its inseparable companion, a very cute🥰 forager #Springtail
If someone can ID them closer than me (I've reached Poduromorpha and unknown Slime by now😅), I'd be very grateful
A short video posted next👇🏻

Those ones have survived one big fire, but could show you others that have survived a few of them🙌🏻. They're total badasses

True 🤣, but they also thrive with wetter clime.
These photos are from last Sunday and the trunks on the left are still charred because of the Great Fire of 2019, but this is a really "wet spot" (for the islands).
On the right, they seem like bottle cleaners cause they lost all the old branches🔥🌲

Great pinecone, by the way!

🤣🤣
Yeah, Lanzarote had pine trees but a very long time ago.
They are very special because they are relicts of the Prehistoric Tertiary Era and they can endure wildfires and volcano's lava (to some extent) and rebirth 🐦‍🔥 in just some months

Pinus canariensis This is a very large tree that can be more than 60 m tall, although it normally measures between 15 and 25 m. The trunk...

Sorry, the other link doesn't work

They're very special trees indeed. Pinus canariensis, look them up🤓

It's a sample of the hymenium. Sarcosphaera is an Ascomycete, so its spores are bagged in Ascas. Those are the elongated sacs with elliptical 8 spores inside (with tho guttules each). Around are battons with a round head filled with brown pigment, those are the paraphysis. Both are esencial to ID

Yeah, the scale is always tricky😅
Leocarpus likes to extend over pone needless, and since these are Canarian pine🇮🇨🌲 needles, they have a long enough space (20-30cm)

Saw a good one today😍
Sarcosphaera coronaria. They are massive (for a Pezizal)!
#Fungifriends
And on the same walk, an old friend/Slime, Leocarpus fragilis, just forming the fruiting bodies
#Slimemold

9h later... So much happening in such a tiny space!!
#Slimemold

So that's what it was!!!😅💩🤣🤓

Really cool!!! 🤦🏻🤣🤣
I've been wondering about them and was thinking there were spores. Much more sense this way💩😅🤓

Nannengaella mellea, here they come again!!
#Slimemold

Thanks!! I studied it some years ago from a sample found by a colleague, and it was a tricky one for me. This is the first time I found it though

In the last month I've found this one and Gulielmina vermicularis, both in rotting piles of branches from pruning. It's a good place for a lot of slimes

It's still wandering around, a very persistent one, really cool to watch it, yeah

I'm taking them with my mobile but it's really far from an iPhone 😅🤣

Keep sharing!
