The World Is Full of Slime Molds

The more we know about slime molds, the better they can be protected. Because the group of people who study slime molds is small, anyone who keeps a record of encounters can make a meaningful contribution. The acorns had all fallen the day I returned to Burnham beaches to meet Barry, Jill, and hopefully some more slimes. Among the bird's nest fungus and witches butter, we saw sphemes of white slime,. dotted earths, crackled pins, berries here, buttons there. They had always been there, and now we were too. And the craziest thing hadn't even happened yet.
