Slime mold (Hemitrichia)

Charleston Lake area

Slime molds are odd things, once classified as fungi, now in the Protist group described as: "a eukaryotic organism (that is, an organism whose cells contain a cell nucleus) that is not an animal, plant, or fungus." (Wikipedia), and divided into three main groups. They feed on fungi and bacteria. Some forms of slime molds can move, oozing along slowly. They are complex and fascinating organisms.

Fascinating. I hadn't heard of this classification. I did A Level Biology in 1978 so I'm a bit out of touch!

Super photo of this organism that doesn't look slimy at all although I get the oozy travel pattern.
