Hey MeganM! You should add your slime mold spottings to my global mission if you get the chance http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/43573086. I hope you're finding lots of great stuff this summer for my Iowa Biodiversity mission :) Thanks, Logan.
Interesting. Thanks. Wish I lived closer to the Boundary Waters. Unfortunately won't be going back until next summer.
If you can go back, the tops should turn into a yellow fuzzball, also slime molds belong in the "other" category.
