I collect spores, molds, and fungus

There's a documentary about slime mold! The Creeping Garden (2014), by Tim Grabham and Jasper Sharp. It screened two years ago at the Brattle and I missed it. I didn't even know. It's plasmodial slime molds, not cellular, but that's okay. I'll still watch it. Fortunately, there appears to be a Blu-Ray/DVD. I'm so happy. It had better include the time a slime mold modeled the railway system of Tokyo.

It's just such a visceral OH GOD NO NO NO ACK reaction I'm not sure I could even really verbalize it. Slime! Mold! MOVING slime mold! WTF!

Fair enough! It is something that is so much not nightmare fuel for me that it didn't occur to me that posting about it would bother people.

Aww, I wasn't truly bothered or anything, I mean it's not like you included a picture.

If I kept a Tumblr, it would definitely include pictures of slime mold.
