These are the beautiful spore-producing structures of plasmodial slime molds. Which is your favourite colour?

Originally considered Fungi, these Myxomycetes are now classed as Amoebozoans - single celled organisms with thousands of nuclei... not animals or fungi but something else entirely!

I’ve been gaining some new followers recently, so it’s time for a reintroduction!

I’m a scientist and macrophotographer, fascinated by all the amazing creatures that live in the soil! I use my photography and media appearances to do science communication on soil biodiversity, to spread awareness and love for the world beneath our feet. Oh, and I’ve got a major book deal to write a popular science book on this subject, which I’m extremely excited about!

Follow my page for interesting soil animal facts, macrophotography and updates!
