the slime is the two dark bulbous things on stalks, and the fungus is the fuzzy white stuff spiking out of the top of the right slime! the slime feeds off of bacteria that eats the wood it’s growing on
It's cool that slime is a real thing and not just something they dump on b-list celebrities on Nickelodeon.
Once I have a dedicated terrarium space, I can't wait to grow them. I've seen a few species on /r/mycobazaar and the level of rhizomatic intelligence they have in finding food is fascinating.
Could I cultivate one of these in a 10 gallon? Are freshwater aquatic species easily available? I've got an experimental tank where I work with local plants and aquatic life, and if I could find an aquatic slime I'd be in heaven.

Apparently so. Looks cool as hell in freshwater.
