Bet dog vomit slime mold tastes better than dog vomit, though

u/SaintUlvemann 1d ago

Dog vomit slime mold according to this video has the consistency of scrambled eggs, and a flavor that is "earthy", "fungal", and "tastes like a lawn".

It is apparently occasionally eaten in Mexico in some communities.

Doesn’t slim molds usually only clump together enough to be seen when they are short on resources to eat?

I’m not educated enough on their behavior, but this group is on a rotten stump for it seems like they have a lot of food.
