EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of nature's hidden wonders. In this image, we are transported into the enchanting world of slime moulds, specifically the plasmodial stage of the myxomycete Physarum sp. , as it thrives on a decaying treestump. The photograph captures the essence of botany and biology, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between fungi and trees. The dead treestump serves as a fertile ground for these fascinating organisms to flourish, reminding us that life can emerge even in unexpected places. The vibrant colors and textures displayed on the bark evoke a sense of awe and curiosity. Delicate strands intertwine to form an intricate network known as reticulum, showcasing nature's artistry at its finest. This visual spectacle is a testament to the resilience and adaptability found within our natural world. As we delve deeper into this microscopic realm, we uncover an entire ecosystem teeming with life. Slime moulds belong to a group called myxomycetes - protists that exhibit amoeboid behavior while resembling fungal characteristics. Their presence reminds us of how diverse life forms can be, challenging our preconceived notions about what constitutes "life". Through this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, we are invited to appreciate not only the beauty but also the complexity that lies within every corner of our planet. It serves as a gentle reminder that there is always more beneath the surface waiting to be discovered – if only
