Slime Molds - Animals or Plants?! - Nature’s disgusting darlings

October 28th, 2008 · No Comments

 

Slime Molds are fantastic creatures. As part fungi, part amoeboid, and all slime, their name hails from the time in their life cycle when they are gelatinous. These slimy little organisms are found all over the world feeding on microorganisms from dead plant material. They are found in the soil, on lawns, and in the forest - commonly on deciduous logs. In tropical areas of the world they are commonly found on inflorescences, fruits and in aerial situations (i.e. in the canopy of trees). Yummy.
