Amazing slime mold. Time lapse of slime mold (mould) behaviour. First we see the phase where it is actively looking for food and following chemical cues from potential food items. Lastly we see a phase that somewhat resembles fungoid in nature, ie Sporulation. When food has run out or a change in environmental conditions is encountered, these things can trigger sporulation to occur.

Slime Molds (Moulds) are NOT related to Fungi although originally classified within this group but are now placed within the Amoebazoa.
