You could leave it in fungi. They used to be classed a fungi and they certainly 'share' the same types of environments. Great things to read about though. You might like to look at the ones on Flickr - incredible structures and variety of colours. http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=slime%20mold

Thanks Mark! I am pretty excited too. Interesting .....slimy mold....do I put it under "other" or leave it here?
Mark Ridgway
...oh technically not a fungi btw but most people are putting them into that category (they are actually Amoebozoa :-)

Beautiful find Muckpuck. This is some species of Stemonitis - a slime mold. It would change it's appearance fairly quickly and maybe gone in a day or two. Excellent.
