Where the Slime Mould Creeps

Sarah Lloyd

4.9/5 (28749 ratings)

Description:Slime moulds are not slimy, nor do they look like mould; in fact, most are exquisite. Fuligo septica is an exception. This common cosmopolitan species forms amorphous yellowish blobs known variously throughout the world by the evocative names 'dog's vomit slime', 'moon shit', 'demon droppings' or 'snake poo'. Plasmodial or acellular slime moulds--also known as Myxomycetes--are mysterious and ubiquitous, yet few people know they exist.One reason for this is their size. Most of their reproductive structures are so small that they are easily overlooked by all but a dedicated few prepared to search trees, logs, stumps and leaf litter with magnifying lens and torch. Naturalist, writer and photographer Sarah Lloyd is perfectly located to search for myxomycetes in the tall wet eucalypt forest that surrounds her home in northern Tasmania. Her photographs of over sixty species capture the colour and variety in their miniature spore-bearing 'fruits'. She is also ideally situated to document over hours and days some common but rarely seen events including actively feeding plasmodia (one of the two animal-like stages of a myxomycete) and the transformation of plasmodia to reproductive structures. In the 19th century three type specimens of myxomycetes--the original specimens used by an author to describe a new species--were collected from Tasmania. And even though cool temperate forests are known to be rich in myxomycetes and there have been occasional collecting trips to this remote corner of the world, it has taken a local naturalist to discover these riches and to share her passion for these ecologically important organisms.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
