    I am always amazed at how you find these in the forest. I love slime molds but I have almost never seen them in the wild. Got any tips?

      Thanks Barry! I usually find them under logs and growing on rotting wood in shady, moist forests. Rotting stumps are good places to start looking. Most slimes that I see are only a couple mm tall, so I usually just sit and stare at a rotting log until I spot them ;P. I hope you can have some luck finding some! Posted 6 years ago
