Original – Close up view of Comatricha nigra, a species of Slime mold
Reason
Close up view of Comatricha nigra, a species of Slime mold in class Myxogastria. This class is slimy to the touch during part of its life, therefore giving the larger group its name 'slime' mold. The species article is weak (it describes the size, millimeter range, and appearance), but the image is also used in the group article. On a sidenote: in the photo I think there is some visible slime at the base of the stalks (visible at full size).
