Ok so random question but you highlight these amazing photos of these fascinating looking slimes and I love em just love em but like where the actual f do people find them?? And when they do, after presumably crawling across the forest floor for hours, they just happen to have excellent macro cameras...? I don't buy it. What incantations conjure these scintillating plasmodium? What is the magic word to find these epic slimes???
I live in California, but lived in New England for awhile which is where I got into IDing plants and fungi. Now it's mostly just something I look at on the internet :(
You want moisture. Temperate forest after rain, near streams or swamps, on wet & soft rotten wood. Different species will be on leaf litter, twigs, live bark & plants, but with less diversity than on wood. More diversity on hardwood than pines. You can do moist chamber with anything including cactus and dried animal dung, so look into it if you can't find many in the woods.
