If you can return to the scene, maybe you can catch it sporulating. I'm jealous; I haven't had a good slime mold encounter all winter.John W.

I'll admit I'm out and about as much as possible now with the rains, because it was just so dreary dry before that I didn't want to go... so, of course, I'm seeing more now. Our memory is fickle of what it used to be like. I also think lots of life have been impatiently waiting for the starter's pistol of rain. We may be getting an overlap of processes that should have started back with November rains, plus the usual mid-March increased daylight hours. Then, on the other end, there are those who took advantage of the mild winter. I spotted my first pelagic cormorant chick today mid-March, and last year I didn't see the first ones hatch until late-May.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-38340498842239022832014-03-08T18:43:47.196-08:002014-03-08T18:43:47.196-08:00Currently also being entranced and flabbergasted b...Currently also being entranced and flabbergasted by slime molds. "Plasmodial" to boot. Do you think the long dry period is making all kinds of life go crazy with growing or is it just us noticing tiny things after such a long absence?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378411362651806039noreply@blogger.com
