Main Species
The Social Amoeba
Dictyostelium discoideum
A 'cellular' slime mold that transitions from individual cells into a single cohesive 'slug'. It is the ultimate team player of the micro-world.
Dog Vomit Slime Mold
Fuligo septica
A thick, porous yellow mass commonly found in gardens and compost. While it looks like its nickname, it is a master de-composer and highly resistant to toxic metals.
The Yellow Blob
Physarum polycephalum
The classic yellow slime mold. Fast, hungry, and smarter than it looks. The perfect starter species for anyone wanting to adopt their first liquid pet.
Sub-species and Secondary Species
Arcyria cinerea complex
Arcyria cinerea complex
A variable arcyria group that often confuses field IDs when color and stage are used without structure checks.
Didymium complex
Didymium spp.
A calcareous slime mold group where white frost-like surface and spore traits matter more than color-only snapshots.
Stemonitis-Symphytocarpus complex
Stemonitis spp. / Symphytocarpus spp.
A dark, filamentous fruiting-body complex where colony architecture and cluster pattern drive the differential diagnosis.
Lycogala conicum-epidendrum complex
Lycogala conicum / Lycogala epidendrum
A look-alike pair where mature surface texture, shape consistency, and stage timing are needed for reliable separation.
