I'm voting for mucotype. I wish this thread had been started in
the Spring.

Yet another slug tale,
which is sort of interesting and sort of
related to
photography,
light writing, etc.
The Jews have special prayer shawl called a Tallit,
used even prior
to Biblical time.
It often has a lovely blue
color . . . sort of like a cyanotype
color, associated with many of
them.
The very old ones, were a different blue and that color blue was
lost
for centuries. I read a
Scientific American article years
back and contemporary scientists
had found the source of
this
blue historically. It is a sea snail in the Mediterranean
and
though there are many types
this one was found in a certain
area as I remember. The lovely aspect
of it is the mucus
it
secretes turns a sort of purplish blue, like jeans, if put out
into
the sun. It is the sun that makes
the blue
appear.
Perhaps we could use that source for some interesting
spiritual
photographs.
