Check out this time-lapse of a slime mold pulsating, captured by Fascinated By Fungi This is a. Slime molds are not actually a fungi, the common name slime mold is used for several kinds of eukaryotic organisms. The name refers to a particular stage in the life cycle of some of these organisms, where they resemble a gelatinous slime. Slime molds have neither a brain nor a central nervous system, nor any neurons. Nevertheless, some scientists argue they exhibit intelligence since they can "learn"

An incredible time lapse of slime mold plasmodium pulsing or ‘breathing’ driven by cytoplasmic streaming. Slime molds run on a ‘network intelligence’ to coordinate their senses across the plasmodium. How cool! Thanks, Fascinated by Fungi for sharing this video! | Paul Stamets

Happy Mother’s Day from this compilation of #SlimeMold #Plasmodium dancing to the beat. The movement you see in this video is the bidirectional flow of cellular components being shipped across the giant continuous plasmodial cell, this phenomenon is known as “cytoplasmic streaming”. Slime molds show an amazing ability to adapt and respond dynamically to their environments because of the cell wide communication facilitated by the transfer of signaling molecules and concentration gradients within
