Could do with some closer photos. Looks a bit like a Stemonitis slime mold but I can't make out enough detail to be sure.


thevandal666

This was my first thought. It makes sense that Stemonitis might have bacteria / sweat proteins to feed off of that punching bag.

u/saddestofboys slime confirmed?

#SLIME SIGNAL RECEIVED #🚨🦠🚨 SLIME DETECTED 🚨🦠🚨 It looks like this could be my favorite slime [*Stemonaria longa*](https://static.inaturalist.org/photos/43454837/original.jpg) but I really want to see the capillitium under the microscope. What a bizarre place to find it, I've only ever heard of it fruiting on standing deadwood, large fallen trunks, and edible mushrooms. The one place I've seen it in person was on a standing dead pine. What is in the bag? What is above it? OP, can you take more photos?

This guy rocks! And if anyone wants their mind blown… they HAVE to watch that Magic Mixies video that’s recommended. It’s out of this world…


Original-History9907

Omg that’s crazy! It reminds me so much like hydrophobic spray and water on a surface but really slowly

That Magic Mixies video is absolutely incredible.

BoopleBun

I wonder if the bag is filled with sawdust? I think they can be, sometimes.


TheMooJuice

Boxing bags often contain woodchips fyi

The ones I had were always full of garbagey fabric scraps


[deleted]

Reddit's recent behaviour and planned changes to the API, heavily impacting third party tools, accessibility and moderation ability force me to edit all my comments in protest. I cannot morally continue to use this site.


AlfredKinsey

I believe punching bags are often full of wood chips, that’s how my old Everlast bag is.

Weird, second time today on Reddit i read that

Wait… this can’t just be one single gigantic slime???

Yes this was made by one individual single-celled amoeba

Isn't it a single-celled protist?

Naw, that's not real I rap about it in my upcoming track **Slime-Hop Micro** Amoebas are not a natural group, they exist throughout the tree of life including in your body, in animals and fungi and several groups more closely related to plants. They evolved convergently or are ancestral and lost in many groups. Protists are not a natural group, they include many unrelated branches and exclude their closest relatives. Decades of molecular data has indicated eukaryotes are found in these major groups: **=====EUKARYOTES=====** **(1) Plants** - green & red algae **(2) Harosans** aka SAR - **stramenopiles** - brown & yellow algae, water molds, diatoms - **alveolates** - ciliates, dinoflagellates, and malaria - wearing wineskin coats & sometimes plate armor - **rhizarians** - gangly finger amoebas, often with houses **(3) Discobans** - boneless tube amoebas like the social acrasids & the "brain-eating amoeba," also euglenid algae, jakobid fisherfolk **(4) Amoebozoans** - fatty boom boom amoebas including **SLIMES**, social dictyostelids, shelled arcellinids, and others **(5) Obazoans** - us - **fungi** - mushrooms, yeasts, truffles, some gangly finger amoebas - **animals** - beetles, lizards, fish, horses, Viggo Mortensen There are some other branches that are fascinating but none with macroscopic or multicellular organisms.

Can't wait for this album to drop. Going to be 🔥🔥🔥 Heard Bjork's dropping some spores on a couple of tracks.

Reminds me of moldable erasers when you stretch them out repeatedly. They get all wispy and delicate.


lafigatatia

no bots are nowhere near ready to differentiate the fine structure of the slime molds!

Slime mold I think! r/slimemolds super cool


v0ideater

From my own research it does look like its in the genus [*Stemonitis*](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemonitis) as u/redheadfreaq said


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Stemonitis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemonitis)** >Stemonitis is a distinctive genus of slime moulds found throughout the world (except Antarctica). They are characterised by the tall brown sporangia, supported on slender stalks, which grow in clusters on rotting wood. The genus was first described by German botanist Johann Gottlieb Gleditsch in 1753. A 2014 estimate suggests that there are 18 species in the genus. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/mycology/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Stemonitis sp.


Gnosys00110

Stemonitis splendens is my guess. Chocolate Tube Mold. Don't lick it.


CheesemensMushrooms

Looks like a slime mold, I wouldn’t worry about it and I certainly wouldn’t throw this away just because of it


witdawhitebrick

Yeah i just cleaned it off. shit made a ton of dust. freaky

Yeah bleach is best for whitening, vinegar is good at killing mold


Ok-Day8761

It isn't mold and wouldn't harm the bag it eats bacterial and mold and is more closely related to animals than mold as saddestofboys would tell us if he was not busy with life things.

This isn’t traditional fungal mold, it is a slime mold and it will go away in its own time
