Talk:Fuligo septica

Bile-colored?
Is "bile-colored" an apt description? I thought that bile was dark grenish brown. The color in the pics seems more like "yolk yellow". All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 23:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the article is using "bile" as a synonym for vomit here, but I agree that if a dog's vomit is that precise color, he's most likely gotten into the art supplies. Perhaps these are atypical specimens, but it also lists "scrambled egg slime" as one of the common names... and that seems a pretty apt description of the color.

By the way: XKCD readers incoming. This doesn't seem to be a likely target for vandalism, but just a heads up. --Ptorquemada (talk) 19:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

A simple link to XKCD isn't "Vandalism" (and, yes, I did read WP:EL). -- Resuna (talk) 22:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Plasmodium? photos
Are the photos labelled as plasmodia actually plasmodia? Aren't they really aethelia? The article does say that plasmodia are "white to yellow-gray"; all of the photos appear to be bright yellow aethelia.192.104.39.2 (talk) 15:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thanks. Sasata (talk) 16:19, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Picture, marked as Fuligo septica
This doesn't look like Fuligo at all. Stas000D (talk) 23:30, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure it does; F. septica is a highly polymorphic organism whose appearance is dependent on the stage of its life cycle as well as environmental conditions such as nutrient and moisture availability, temperature, etc. Have a look here to get a better idea of its morphological diversity.

 * Thank you for your reply! But I have seen a lot of Fuligo aethalia in all stages of life cycle and different environmental conditions (actually, I grow it's plasmodia at home) an had never seen such one. But it's better to speak on this page for collecting all ideas in one place. I said my arguments there. Stas000D (talk) 01:40, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
