Amazing Slime Mold Time lapse
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.

It is, when it does that, it's transmitting information across its form. That allows it to locate their best possible food sources, and how it plots the fastest routes to them.

if u make a vivarium and use natural materials, there is always a chance some slime mold will be amongst the organic matter, whether it ever shows itself is another thing.

Hi this is wild "caught" material. You might try and "catch" some yourself by using rolled oats as a lure on damp organic matter. Check in the night time- in general they do not like bright light. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Amazing! Is it easy to find slime mold in forest?
@francischeefilms
2 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure "easy" is the right word to describe that however, due to their bright colors for a lot of them, you should be able to easily notice them after rain or when the ground os very damp and in not so well lit places. if you look under rotting logs or rocks lying upon the soil, which might have voids under them, you may be lucky and find some. Thanks for watching!

Very difficult because in reality it is a microorganism which comes together to form this "plasmodium" and even breaking small part of it off will have no effect. We usually only see it when it comes above the ground, otherwise they are fairly ubiquitous in the soil and decomposing matter of the planet.

At this point the slime mould has "run out of energy" and it has begun to change it's usual characteristics getting ready to produce spores. It only assumes the plasmodial stage when food and environmental conditions are favourable for it. If any of these two parameters change, then they will begin to change to enable spore production. Thanks for watching.
