Yellow slime mold (i think?) growing on a log.

North Cascades, Washington

It's about 5 hours worth of growth. Halfway thru, my meter freaked out, and then i accidentally kicked the log, and then the only hikers i saw all day said there was a bear up the trail, so i called it quits.
Plus the flies were brutal.

yeah doesn't look like it is growing but more breathing.

you're right, but if you look at the very first second or two, and then look at the end you can clearly see the growth there.

Is it growing or moving? If you zoom from start to end, it's growing up the log and retreating at the base.

Very cool. One of our producers featured it in a public radio blog post: blog.speakingoffaith.org/post/31255204. Tak.
