(I know it is summer vacation but...) A quick question:

Has anyone collected slime molds from any location in the Bay Area? I
am interested in collecting some for a lab and would love some tips. I
have heard that you can just look under logs, leaves etc. in the
forest.

Slime molds are very easy to grow and a lot of fun in a high school
laboratory. I have an excellent lab for them if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
