I don't know about you but I've been seeing a lot of our old friend Fuligo septica lately. Mostly I've been finding it old and dry on wood chips. Once I flicked it hard with my finger and got my fingertip covered in spores. I tried to think of something mischievous do do with my spore-dusted digit, but in the end I just wiped it off. It's not like it's hard to find the species around--I don't need to sneak it into places.

I caught this batch early in its life as it crawled through a bed of moss on a rotten log. I don't usually find it looking this much like scrambled eggs, so this was nice.

Once again your blog helps me identify strange creatures encountered in our urban environment. My kids found the spore-bearing stage of this organism in a park last week, and I wasn't sure what it was. But now I googled "Fuligo septica" to learn more about your crazy lemon-colored friend there, and recognized our find in some of the pictures. Thanks!
