It's a Mycological Easter egg hunt, a gathering of mushrooms that come from eggs! For the rest of my pages on fungi, please click TomVolkFungi.net Return to Tom Volk's Mycological Easter egg hunt page. You've found Lycogala epidendrum, the wolf's milk slime mold! On the left (pinkish orange) is the immature stage of the slime mold. It eventually goes through a bluish gray stage to get to the right picture (bluish brown), the mature stage of the slime mold, cotaining the spores. Click here to learn more about slime molds, which are not true fungi.
