The captivating beauty of slime moulds redefined my perception of nature; encountering these tiny, vibrant life forms revived my curiosity and transformed routine walks into exciting explorations.
My first encounter with slime moulds was sparked by an image of Stemonitis in New Scientist. I was fascinated by its complex form and vibrant color.
Equipped with a jeweller's loupe, I discovered a hidden world beneath logs—where tiny, colorful fruiting bodies like berets and goblets showcase nature's creativity.
These organisms thrive on organic matter, hidden in plain sight across urban parks and gardens, proving that astonishing life can exist anywhere if one knows where to look.
