Photo Exhibition “Amazing Slime Moulds”: Opening Event and Curator-Guided Tour

Come and see what the slime moulds that have recently been given Estonian names look like.

Slime moulds are fascinating yet little-known organisms that belong neither to the plant, animal, nor fungal kingdoms. This spring, we launched a search for Estonian names for slime moulds.

The exhibition features sixteen photographs taken with a stereomicroscope camera, showcasing the remarkable diversity of colours and forms found in slime moulds.

The exhibition is based on the work of slime mould researcher Iryna Yatsiuk, carried out at the fungal collection of the Estonian University of Life Sciences.

At the exhibition opening, Kadri Pärtel, curator of the fungal collection at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, will give an introduction to the exhibition.

No pre-registration is required.

This event is part of the Curiosity Day events organised by the Estonian University of Life Sciences.
