I run into slime molds pretty frequently with indoor woodlover cultivation attempts and this one is definitely an interesting stemonitis specimen, I haven't seen this one quite yet but I've seen other similar chocolate tube stemonitis variants.
What you're seeing is the sporanglia, and in the same vein as mushroom cultivation by the time you see the sporanglia (sporulating structures) it implies the organism has already established itself via its earlier lifecycle.

That is awesome. I'd kind of like to cultivate slime molds someday just to study them. It's so alien looking. I imagine walking on an alien planet and seeing that growing in large scale. Sort of like this...

Its possible it hitched hiked on a plate but i imagine amoebas eating through and being noticeable.
It could of came from your hands, hair or debris in the air.
Its possible in doesn't interfere with them on the plates full of nutrients.. There should be test done to see the interaction.
You can always terminate a plate.
You said your tub is not putting out this may be why?
Possibly I may except a sample in the future for scope work. Those stalks should last in a cool tube.
Amoebas are very crafty like microscopic octopi.

These can be intentionally cultured too with wet rotting wood.
It's possible for a piece of rotten wood to contain multiple slime molds. In my experience they also "attach" to plants in the tub, like in cases where I had white clover planted.
They appear to survive pasteurization in my experience, and I would imagine it's possible to culture them by pasteurizing wood chips and dropping them on agar. Obviously there would be massive amounts of cleanup needed with this approach but this is what I mean by 'culturing' them from wood chips.
@Elf, I actually have this series on hardcopy, lol. Still have yet to go through it, it was one of the series I did not watch even though it was popular in my day.

Ha!!! I love it. Octopi are amazingly cool. I'm delighted by your comparison. *broad grin*

Just study them for day by reading an it will make you redefine intelligence.
As a primate it is threating how well they can assess risk an maneuver/ manipulate they're environment with so little brain power. An amorphous body is extremely beneficial.
They use basic tools to as well, like debris sheilds/shells to survive peat bog fires.
There needs to be done much more research on them. Like antibiotics for the brain eating amoebas which will be more common with global warming.
They are possibly the cure for cancer if you can train them to eat the cancerous tissue an not healthy tissue. A replacement immune system for aids patients ect.
To me I would ask why on earth would you build a robot when there's this organism to partner up with.

There was a study where they arranged oat grains in a way that represents the Tokyo subway system, and the slime molds found the most efficient interconnection between the nodes as far as an actual rail system would also be concerned.
