Identification Request Is this slime mold?
You can see on the top part what looks to be regular mushroom-looking shapes but the bottom looks like dog vomit.

So beautiful, completely taken over one of my Isopod colonies.

I wasn't sure with the limited knowledge I have, but it seemed possible... found in my side lawn in WNY. It was spread across an area probably 6 to 7 in long and about 4 in wide, bruised black when you poked it with a stick, but when I went to try to flip it over (because undersides fascinate me) it broke apart and the inside was actually black so may have just been scraping off the outer substance. Wasn't very thick maybe a quarter of an inch and when poked was not spongy or squishy, almost hard. Texture of the inside seem to be just a denser format of the texture of the outside. Was some powdery residue upon breaking. Weather here has been cool and dry the past couple days prior to that there was a day of rain not sure if that helps with anything, just trying to give as much information as I can. Any guesses? Thank you in advance😁

Couldn't quite capture its yellowness, tried to fix it in post but I don't think it's still quite yellow enough...

Almost positive, but if someone could confirm please. I took these pictures a couple weeks back on a hike. Was near a creek. Did not disturb it. Colorado

I've been looking at ways to efficiently root cuttings while reusing resources, etc etc and so far putting them in terrariums seems to be the best, except that sometimes bacteria eat them. Then I had what might be a genius idea and realized that Physarum polycephalum is a bacteria eater that likes humid conditions and generally ignores plants, so introducing one might be able to keep the cuttings clean.
My only reservation is that the fellow also eats oats so the cut end of the plant without any cuticle or other protective layer might be more appetizing to them than it normally would be. Has anyone tried this, or otherwise seen one eat living plant tissue under any circumstances whatsoever? It would they ignore it no matter how vulnerable it is at the moment?

I’ve broken off pieces of it and it had a surprising hard, crumbly texture. Pic 2 is a small chunk I’ve put in a plastic bag with some dead grass and moisture to see what growth results, if any.

Originally posted these photos to r/fungi but someone suggested it may be a slimemold instead.

I'm so sorry for the terrible picture quality! I was wading through a creek to check on some hoop nets I'd set for a turtle survey and came across this on a semi-submerged trunk. I frantically asked my buddy to snap some pics for me and this is what he was able to get. I'm located in the southeast USA

My friend and I are wondering what this is? It resembles wolf’s milk but looks a bit different. 🧐

Don’t know what it but was certainly eye catching and haven’t seen this one out here (Midwest USA) before

I found this next to my rosemary plants, should I remove them? My wife is pregnant and I’m worried if they affect us in anyway.

My husband and I have an indoor garden and have just noticed today what I think is slime mold growing on either side of the fabric planter housing our squash plant. Could someone help me ID it specifically? I need to know if I should be hasty about removal or if it’s ok.
3rd pic is just a shot of the garden before anyone asks 😁

Found August 26 2025 in woods in Dufferin County Ontario Canada on a dead tree. Thanks!
