Sime Mould photography

[Stephen Axford]

Hello.  I am a photographer who specialises in fungi and nature photography.  In my search for fungi I often come across slime mould and I find it fascinating.  I do not grow the slime mould in Petri dishes, but I do sometimes observe the growth on old fallen wood or other substrate, as it competes for food with other animals, plants or fungi.  Here are some still photos I have taken of some of our local (Eastern Australian) slime mould.
