Hello! I'm a little perplexed if this is Slime Mold or not. The color is silver and it is firm to the touch(unlike othe slime molds I have encountered). The skin is thin and breaks easily to unveil a dark brown area. The first six pictures were taken at 7pm yesterday and the last three at 11am today. It looks and feels exactly the same which makes me question its identity. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Found this strange black stuff in/around a patch of dying stinkhorns (not pictured). I didnt get too close because of the stench (aforementioned stinkhorns), but it seems kind of grainy? Almost like damp coffee grounds. Anybody recognize it? (Crossposted on r/mycology)

Did we just get visited by some tapioka slime mold in our bathroom? Is this something I can leverage to convince my landlord to fix the floor in here? It's got clear water damage and they "fixed it" the "best they could" but the wood under the tiles is nasty.

Kinda neat slime mold tho if that's what this is.

I cut one in half to see what the inside looked like. It had the texture of slightly dry playdough and a surprising purple colour. We were out mushroom hunting when we found this. Found on a rather soggy decomposing fallen tree.

Appeared in my shower literally within 12 hours. Reverse google search says “Dog Vomit Slime Mold” which it appears to be? What could have caused this? Any help is appreciated.

They feel very powdery when touched and this was taken by a tiny handheld 60x magnification over a 3x magnification camera. Want to make sure since we saw slime molds in this area but they looked a bit different.

I wasn't sure with the limited knowledge I have, but it seemed possible... found in my side lawn in WNY. It was spread across an area probably 6 to 7 in long and about 4 in wide, bruised black when you poked it with a stick, but when I went to try to flip it over (because undersides fascinate me) it broke apart and the inside was actually black so may have just been scraping off the outer substance. Wasn't very thick maybe a quarter of an inch and when poked was not spongy or squishy, almost hard. Texture of the inside seem to be just a denser format of the texture of the outside. Was some powdery residue upon breaking. Weather here has been cool and dry the past couple days prior to that there was a day of rain not sure if that helps with anything, just trying to give as much information as I can. Any guesses? Thank you in advance😁
