k Slime mould Macrophotograph of a partly opened fruiting body from the slime mould Lindbladia tubulina revealing spores. The spores will germinate into freeliving, singlecelled amoeba. The amoeba aggregate to form a plasmodium, a large single cell with multiple nuclei. The plasmodium can move slowly, feeding on bacteria, fungi and decaying matter. In poor conditions the plasmodium forms fruiting bodies and the life cycle begins again. Slime moulds were once classified as fungi but are now classified as protozoa.
