This has been in my wallpaper & random image collection for a while. Unfortunately I forgot the name but I remember that they are tiny in real size, just a millimeter or so. Maybe somebody recognizes them?

You definitely have a moisture problem in your home if this is in your wallpaper

yes, exactly.
Does it say how tall they are?

Gesundheit.

Wohlsein*
("Gesundheit" can be misinterpreted as implying your health isn't good, and is therefore generally considered bad luck to say to someone when they sneeze —or, so I was told repeatedly in Frankfurt, Köln, Berlin, etc.)

It's regional. You'd likely get some funny looks if you said "Wohlsein" anywhere in the north or north-west of Germany.
(Pretty sure "Gesundheit" is also the standard in Köln, but it's been a few years since I last visited my family in the region.)

Yep, that tracks. I was only visiting Köln and Berlin, though that was with a few friends local to Frankfurt. 🤓

Yes. The literal translation is “health”, which is also awkward. But in US English, this is a common response to a sneeze, basically the equivalent of “bless you” which is also a response to a sneeze.

Yes, and in the US, half-assed and plain stupid sayings exist, often lifted from other cultures but completely malformed and inane in doing so. Ergo, "in US English" is a shit argument. 🥲

Slime molds aren't fungi, sadly. OP will now be launched into the sun for their crime

Slime moulds are not in the fungi branch of life? Does that mean they're more closely related to .. um don't know the right words .. vegetables?
bryophile@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 4d
No they are neither fungi, plant or animal. They are single celled organisms so more closely related to amoeba or some algae.

Huh ok, fascinating. Sounds like a YouTube rabbit hole for me to get my head stuck in!
Wolf314159@startrek.website · 1 pts · 3d
Kind of amazing that something of this size and complexity is still a single celled organism.
MouldyCat@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 3d
yeah, these slime moulds really push the envelope. hope youtube links aren't against the rules here, the slime mould in this one do some really crazy stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlANF-v9lb0
they will sometimes clump together and move around very much like a slug

Protists, they are protists. And algae is firmly in the plant branch.

not fungi or plants or animals, but a secret fourth thing

Those are xenomorph eggs. You got an infestation of aliens

I've only seen mushrooms like this in sci-fi. They're usually bigger tho.

When I was a kid we would go hiking in a creek bed that ran inbetween all the houses. One day I came upon some little bulbous mushrooms like this that were growing out of a huge downed tree. When you poked one super gently with a stick, it would explode a cloud of green spores out of it. Weirdest shit I ever found, and I never saw them again. I would have sworn it was like the flood from halo or something

Man, slime mold is cool as fuck!
It actually exists as a multi nucleated single cell, then divides when it's time for reproduction. It actually shows signs of intelligence and is at least partially responsible for the rail system in Tokyo.
