Many-headed Slime

Thanks DDO, lori and lightworker.

Nice.

Excellent slime mold.

This is impressive!

Thanks for choosing this at the Fun fact!

Fun fact! Slime mold is not a fungus (though it sometimes resembles one) but a soil-dwelling amoeba; a brainless, single-celled organism. There are more than 900 species of slime mold, in every color of the rainbow except a true green, because they lack chlorophyll. Despite lacking feet, slime molds can travel considerable distances. Although slime mold survives as a single-celled organism when food is abundant, when food is scarce, it combines forces with other slime molds, and work as a team, even signaling to each other to join forces and form a multi-cellular mass. Once the mass is formed, the cells reconfigure, change their shape and function to form stalks, which produce fruiting bodies. These contain millions of spores, which get picked up and transported by the wind or a passing insect or animal, to begin the process again as single-celled organisms. https://www.facebook.com/projectnoah/pho...

Thanks Chun, Mark, Antonio and stacey.

Dan this is really cool! I love the series :)

Wow Dan,just beautiful,super cool spotting,congrats and thanks for sharing

Perfect timing Dan. A great series of a plasmodial phase on the go.

That is even more amazing.
Such a large spread of slime mold and yet there are not much spotting of it in Borneo.

Thanks Chun. It spreads about 45cm or so across that rotting log.

This is amazing!
How big is the whole structure ?

Thanks for the ID brian.
