It’s Tell a Friend Friday! Please enjoy this photo of a Fuligo septica slime mold plasmodium (for reference, the metal post is about 3/4" in diameter). Then tell someone you know about my work–you can reblog this post, or send my website, RebeccaLexa.com, to someone you think may be interested in my natural history writing, classes, and tours, as well as my book, The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go.

Isn’t this stained glass succulent my mom made for me so cute? I just love the way it blends in with my other house plants.
Rating: HAZARDOUS
Fun fact!! So actually this isn’t a plant at all, but a variety of predatory diatom that mimics its prey in order to get close enough to strike. Its digestive juices are very slow acting, so you aren‘t likely to notice your other plants disappearing until it’s too late to do anything about it. Unfortunately there is no way to kill it off, so you’ll have to find a different house.

Im interested in sargassum rn and i find it so extremely weird that anywhere i search it its about the “heartbreak” tourists feel when they travel to a sargassum filled destination instead of focusing on the damage to local communities. Also in general: I want to learn more about sargassum without it always focusing on the negatives and on tourists. Can someone give me a cool sargassum/any algae fact? Really into algae rn.
