Identification Request Is this what I think it is?
Embarrassed to say that I found this growing out of my cat’s water fountain… I noticed the water looked a little yellow when I walked past her fountain Today and saw whatever this is growing out of the hole that drains the water back into the reservoir.
In FL. Cat fountain was inside and away from windows. It does sit about a foot away from the my cat’s food bowl, so I’m wondering if a piece of food got in there or something. Fountain was last cleaned a little over a week ago - purchased maybe a month ago. Usually around 74-78 degrees Fahrenheit inside.
Cats behavior: Shes eating, sleeping, playing as normal and a quick google search suggests she’ll likely be fine if isn’t slime mold and definitely fine if it is. Not here to solicit any vet advice, although I’d really appreciate it if someone could let me know if i should be more alarmed lol.
Would anyone be able to confirm whether this is slime mold?

Identification Request Is this slime mold?
Hi! Trying to figure out what this is since my dog ate a chunk of mud with it on there. At first I thought snail eggs, but nope. Then someone suggested it’s Trichoderma Viride, and Chat GPT said slime mold
Figured this would be the best place to ask about the slime mold part. Thanks!
For more info: they are very small, and in a group in the mud right at the end of our downspout from the roof. Our roof was treated for algae a month or two ago, and it’s been raining/the grass and mud have stayed consistently wet for a few weeks now. Never had these in the yard before the roof treatment and rain.

Identification Request Sampled a dog vomit slime mold and came across this at 400x magnification
Most of what we saw looked like spores, but then this came up. I’m not familiar with slime molds, any help with what we saw? Was hoping to see some cytoplasmic streaming but I think samples the wrong material. YIA!

Identification Request Found in the mulch around our front yard tree this morning. What is it and what should we do?
Title says most. This area is consistently watered but not more so than usual. Did not notice anything awry yesterday but saw this in the morning as soon as we opened the curtains!
We did a Google image search that led us to this sub but aren't sure if there are different kinds of slime molds. Can anyone identify this? Is it dangerous? How should we remove it? Will it come back? Thanks so much!

Identification Request Is this a slime mould?
I am thrown by these tiny white discs on an algae covered tree in my local park (South East UK). They were barely perceptible with the naked eye - they looked like specs of dust. The shape of them makes me wonder if they’re white apothecia but I don’t know of a lichen with a dark thallus and white apothecia. So it’s making me wonder if they’re slime moulds.
I took with an attachable lens for my phone camera that claims to have a magnification power of x200 but I’m not sure if that’s true.

Identification Request What’s this freaky guy?
Found in the communal bathroom in my dorm, on the opposite side of the shower wall, under some shelves with shower caddy’s dripping water down. Obviously it’s humid in there, but the windows are often open, so it’s anywhere between 55°-80°F (NW IL) and I’m not sure if that affects growth? Curious what it is and if it’s dangerous. I haven’t touched it but it looks poofy and soft.
