    Great photo - I worked with Slime molds (not this one) in a lab at university! They may not look like much but evolutionary biologists believe that they represent one of the earliest attempts at multicellularity (many species have a single cell and multicellular phase). Posted 8 years ago

      I love slimes - I've got a pretty nice collection of them going here, though only a few have even tentative ID's... fascinating little whatsits - not plant, animal or fungi, they manage to run around as single cells for most of their life, until they need to reproduce, then somehow communicate a need to come together and specialize into different parts of a fruiting body - crazy.
