I think it is worth noting that fungi to "protista" is not a 1:1 comparison. Protista is an artificial and obsolete kingdom with many members more closely related to other kingdoms. Slimes like this are amoebozoans, a natural kingdom defined by evolutionary history like plants, animals, and fungi.
Found lots of lovely/gross fungi in the woods today, after a rainy night. Also saw three jays and a couple of wrens, but no photographic proof of their existence, so please take my word for it :) #fungifriends 🍄🍄🟫🪶💚

I could have cleared some of the grass out of the way, I could have made a square crop. But I didn't. I like it like this :) #fungi#mushroom#shaggyinkcap One of the few fungi I'm confident enough to eat when foraging.
