Had I known more about this organism, I would have made sure to visit it the next day.

I did find (and posted a link to) an awesome time lapse video of slime molds that I found though, that was fun to watch. They are fascinating to see in action, as their life-cycles seem to be so short lived. Very nice find. Were you able to revisit this log after you photographed it? It's intriguing to see how they look even within 24 hours.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-67866780353964080012011-01-06T06:31:36.882-08:002011-01-06T06:31:36.882-08:00Thanks everyone for your comments.
