      It’s similar, but instead of full black spots it has a small spot in the center of mold rings until they turn into spore pod things. Like a tiny mushroom circle. It can’t grow in a filled spot because it is toxic even to itself.

      I was trying to find a good picture, but fuck me, AI has ruined everything and it’s just showing me a bunch of fake pictures of jet black slime mold…

          Hey, that worked! Thanks for that bit of advice.

          Still not the best picture, because everyone thinks that any mold that is black is black mold, and I’m at work so I’ve got until the elevator gets to my floor, but you can see in this picture how it separates into small segments of independent rings which are all their own individual colony.
