Here's some weird goo for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay
This goo is a type of slime mold that feeds off of rotting wood. The latin name is ductifera pululahuana common name is pale jelly roll.
Here's a closeup shot, when it rains this mold absorbs a bunch of water and it puffs up. Once the wood dries up this stuff turns brown and dries up into a thin skin.
Here's another kind of slime mold I found nearby, this one is called amber jelly roll, latin name is exidia recisa. This is actually edible but bland and tasteless. I use this in menudo soups sometimes. This absorbs spices really well.
I ended up harvesting a bit of it for a soup. You can dry this for use later. It basically dries up into a cornflake size then when you need to reuse it just throw it in water and watch it puff up again.
Now for some mycena mushroom forests.
Every time I go mushroom hunting I find lots of these.
This time I even found bleeding mycena, basically they are called this because of their red color. Also if you pick them the stems bleed red. That's it for this week's walk.
