Check out this time-lapse of a slime mold pulsating, captured by Fascinated By Fungi This is a. Slime molds are not actually a fungi, the common name slime mold is used for several kinds of eukaryotic organisms. The name refers to a particular stage in the life cycle of some of these organisms, where they resemble a gelatinous slime. Slime molds have neither a brain nor a central nervous system, nor any neurons. Nevertheless, some scientists argue they exhibit intelligence since they can "learn"

An incredible time lapse of slime mold plasmodium pulsing or ‘breathing’ driven by cytoplasmic streaming. Slime molds run on a ‘network intelligence’ to coordinate their senses across the plasmodium. How cool! Thanks, Fascinated by Fungi for sharing this video! | Paul Stamets

Genius Slime mold solves a maze! Meet Jerry, our labs new pet slime mold. Jerry is a member of the species physarum polycephalum and even though Jerry is made of just one single giant cell, Jerry can do complex tasks like solving a maze. Isn't Jerry amazing?! #experiment #slimemold #biology #microbe #maze #puzzle #bio #science #microscope | The thought emporium

Happy Slime Mold Sunday! Here’s a quick timelapse of #DogVomitSlimeMold #Fuligoseptica pulsing in a regular rhythm. This pulsing effect comes from the reversal of the directional flow of cellular components (called cytoplasmic streaming). True Slime Molds (#myxomycetes) are essential one gigantic cell with many nuclei. They engulf organic matter and navigate their environment until conditions force them form spore bearing fruiting bodies called Sporangia. .Fuligo septica contains a yellow pigmen
