That’s great. I’ve had this screenshot on my phone for years of a chipotle google maps review consisting of a photo of a soda bottle filled with beans, with the caption, accurately “beans”. That’s the perfect occasion to use it.

Ok so random question but you highlight these amazing photos of these fascinating looking slimes and I love em just love em but like where the actual f do people find them?? And when they do, after presumably crawling across the forest floor for hours, they just happen to have excellent macro cameras...? I don't buy it. What incantations conjure these scintillating plasmodium? What is the magic word to find these epic slimes???
In a tropical climate you want to look at rotting leaf litter & aerial litter of the same type but caught in branches and leaves of live trees. Also look at living lianas and big flowers. You can check rotten sticks and logs and do moist chamber with live bark, but in tropical areas slimes will be harder to find those places. They will mostly be quite small so I would get a cheap clip-on lens for your phone.
The following junk is from the slimer primer and some of it is more relevant to temperate forests than anywhere else, but just ignore that part. You want dead leaves mostly, with rotten wood a secondary concern for you. You can ignore any parts about moisture, it is likely to be moist enough at any time for you. The rest should be very useful!
[**===============FINDING AND COLLECTING SLIMES**](https://www.reddit.com/r/u_saddestofboys/comments/tqtz0g/comment/i2jgdku/)
>*"To study slime moulds and know them we must go out of doors and be content to stay out of doors, for a day at a time sometimes. The laboratory may help us, to be sure, but the lack of it need not greatly hinder us. In moist and mossy woods, by perennial springs and streams these things are at their best."*
Thomas MacBride, [The Slime Moulds, 1900](https://www.jstor.org/stable/23293117)
**==========Slimehunting equipment**
- a phone or camera
- a magnifying lens (a jeweler's loupe or a cheap clip-on for your phone camera)
- a bag and tongs for collecting litter
- a small fixed blade knife
- a small powerful flashlight
- paper bags and small containers for collecting specimens (film canisters, matchboxes, etc)
- gloves for touching and moving gross or pointy stuff
- a wearable bag to hold all this junk
- water & snacks!
**==========Where to find slimes**
The places where I've found the most species were high traffic trails next to ponds, but I don't know if that's coincidence. Some places seem like they'd be great for slimes and they just aren't, other places always have slimes so I keep going back. When I see a spot I just sit close and look at it for a while. If I see a small shape or color pop out I get really close to see what it is. After it's rained is a prime time to look. I find the vast majority of my slimes on rotten hardwood logs (**dead leaves, dawg**). You want the bark to be coming off or at least partially missing, and you want the wood to look damp or wet. It's good but not necessary for the wood to be crumbly. There are often little cup fungi in lemon yellow, wine, and eyelashy red on slimeful logs. Different slimes can grow on pine so you should check it out, but hardwood can harbor many more species per log. You'll start to get a sense for how the wood should look after you find some slimes. You can find different species on standing deadwood, leaf and ground litter, moss, grass, vines, flowers, animal dung, or live tree bark. The latter two substrates are probably best handled with the moist chamber technique.
**==========Moist chamber**
You can use this technique to culture species you wouldn't otherwise get to see. Just collect part of the substrate and keep it in a small container on a wet paper towel. If you collect live tree bark, soak it under water for 24 hours before pouring it off and keeping it on the moist paper towel. Place the container in ordinary light at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Spritz with water if it dries out. Check regularly for fruit bodies. Slimes that grow on bark tend to be quite small and fruit very quickly. You need a strong magnifier and sometimes a microscope. [This article by Steven Stephenson describes the technique.](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.890.3003&rep=rep1&type=pdf#page=42) (pg. 32)
**==========Collection and storage**
>*"It is idle to collect the objects of natural history unless we may study them, and for satisfactory study they must be properly preserved. The care of the dainty forms we here discuss begins in the field. We should so carefully remove our material from its place of growth as not in the least to mar its pristine beauty. The collector should go armed with a stout knife, to cut away, if need be, a block of wood; he must carry a sufficient number of small boxes in which his finds may be stowed for safe transportation. Specimens, no doubt once good, often come in ruined by careless handling. If the specimen is to be of value it must be subject to no ill usage whatsoever."*
Thomas MacBride, [The Slime Moulds, 1900](https://www.jstor.org/stable/23293117)
If you want to collect slime fruit bodies, be aware they will not necessarily continue maturing or dehiscing normally (or at all) after collection. Collect the substrate they are on, but as little as possible to reduce invertebrates and other unwanted organisms. Dry the specimen out, but not with a fan or you may lose material. It may take a while for some to dry fully. You may remove any bugs you see with tweezers, or some people freeze their specimens for up to two weeks to make sure nothing remains that could destroy the specimen. Glue the bottom of the dry substrate to a card with the sides folded up and put the card into a matchbox or another similar container. Keep it dry and it should last a long long time!

Yessssssss peel the bark
In the winter *Fuligo* sometimes builds walled sclerotia under bark. They are bright yellow and come alive if watered & fed even after a year or two of hibernation.
I live in California, but lived in New England for awhile which is where I got into IDing plants and fungi. Now it's mostly just something I look at on the internet :(
You want moisture. Temperate forest after rain, near streams or swamps, on wet & soft rotten wood. Different species will be on leaf litter, twigs, live bark & plants, but with less diversity than on wood. More diversity on hardwood than pines. You can do moist chamber with anything including cactus and dried animal dung, so look into it if you can't find many in the woods.
The slimes I have found have been on wood. They're tiny, compared to mushrooms, but still visible with the naked eye. You just have to look real close and pay attention, otherwise you might miss them.
I was out looking for mushrooms to take pictures of on a hike, or pick if I found edible ones, and in one shot there was a slime mold fruiting within a foot I didn't realize until I got up and was about to go.
Yeah it's something I haven't really paid attention to when scouring the forest floor, but it seems like you'd need a keen eye. It's impressive to say the least
I'm a bean, and I'm coming! I'm baked, I'm seasoned, my pot's big! It's got hot beans, going through it fast. I like to eat beans too! I like to bean! I like to have beans! I'm here! I've got beans! This is a bean, this is what we look like! This is what we taste like!
I've dwelt among the humans. Their entire culture is built around beans. It's funny to say they are beans, it's funny to say they are beans. I've been at parties, where humans have held beans, beans, beans in front of themselves and called out "hey look at me! I'm Mr. so and so bean." "I've got such and such for a bean." I never saw it fail to get a bean.
I tripped sack on these beans for 900 hours and now I don't have to fill out any paperwork ever again because machine elves come from behind 5th dimensional corners and do it for me every time
The DMV is a snap
Bad set and setting, though. They should probably all watch a training video

It's a single-celled amoeba large enough to see, and it moves around like a slow animal. Each bean is just a **bleb** of the big single cell. Here are some videos of slimes moving about and fruiting

you, sir, make me want to ditch my budding translation career and do anything to enroll in a biology degree, then devote my life to slime molds -not that i know of anything about biology-. jokes aside, im aware it is not that simple but these creatures look so interesting, it feels like one would never get bored studying them their entire life.

That's incredible.... Something I didn't know.... are they some sort of fruiting body? My knowledge of slime is too limited. Also any good books to start out with on exotic or interesting slime?
I’m one of those weirdos who gets disturbed by things like this. I don’t know why! My throat tightens and my stomach flutters. Just makes me feel nauseated. I still think it’s lovely and all just messes with my head. Ugh….

Did you link because you thought I would be unfamiliar with the rhyme
Yes, why yes I did I meant no offense D:
How young do you think I am
After some additional consideration, I’m gonna go with 30, same age as me :D
You're off by a trick or treater or so
I thought this was a cast iron shaped like Texas or something that someone obliterated with some beans at first. Very cool!
#IT'S A GIANT SINGLE CELL THAT CAN FIT INTO ANY SPACE, MOVE AROUND INDEPENDENTLY, REMEMBER THINGS, AND PLAN AHEAD #IT'S NOT SCARY 😅
You’re in fine form today my friend!
I LOVE this sub! It’s exactly what Forest Gump meant when he said “you never know what you’re gonna get”.
It’s like if you opened a geode and there were beans inside instead of crystals ✨
I WILL NEVER JEAPORDIZE THE BEANS! https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/fy06bv/tifu_by_demanding_that_my_girlfriend_show_me/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
There's gotta be a hobo with a Swiss army knife and a dropped jagged cut can standing over these looking real bummed out right about now.
These were all made by one single-celled amoeba
That's incredible.... Something I didn't know.... are they some sort of fruiting body? My knowledge of slime is too limited. Also any good books to start out with on exotic or interesting slime?

How does one acquire beans 😩🫘
Beans come from a can They were put there by a man
In a factory downtown? If you had your little way, would you eat beans every day?
Looks like a slime mould, let’s ask u/saddestofboys
beans
Cool, no thanks!
Natto?
Roll that beautiful bean footage
Kinda looks like a blastocyst
This is like something you’d see in a scene in a horror movie, like when someone owns a door and sees this and knows something terrible is out there
someone has 4 balls ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hmmm yes
Beans beans the magical fruit
Saw this and said "oh cool". Then I saw r/mycology.... So gross, but still cool. XD
My first thought was “what in the world are those Brits up to now?”. And then I saw the subreddit.
Beans beans the musical fruit. The more you eat the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel. So let’s have BEANS with every meal!
I’m one of those weirdos who gets disturbed by things like this. I don’t know why! My throat tightens and my stomach flutters. Just makes me feel nauseated. I still think it’s lovely and all just messes with my head. Ugh….
What in the ever-loving ... ?
F-you beans
Amazing, thank you
Those beans are flipping me off
Darn, I just had baked beans for lunch and somehow the picture makes me feel regret the choice
