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...
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.
📆: 6.21.2025 📍: Marine Park Here is the list for our first ever walk in Marine Park! #MycoWalkSeries #UrbanMycology #AlleyPond #SpringFungi #SpeciesWalkList #saltmarsh walklists.newyorkmyc.org/walksingle.p...
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 #🦠
2nd #timelapse of a Fuligo septica species #pulsating. This is 5minutes condensed into 8seconds. #slimemoldcreeps #slimemold #myxomycete #slimemoldsunday #yellow
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
🦠: 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 #🦠
🦠 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:
🔑 Keys to NYC Fungi Just in time for summer! Sigrid Jakob & Matthew Rozanoff created NYC-specific guides to 14 fungi genera. Field-ready, DNA-verified, always updating. #fieldguide #fungi #nyc #mushrooms #ID #mycology www.newyorkmyc.org/resources/ne...
So may myxos! Follow me @nyc.slime.patrol on insta for more photos :)
