Chocolate Slime Tubes

Chocolate Slime Tubes Slime Mold: Slime molds are fascinating weirdos of the biological world! Slime molds don’t have brains, but they can solve mazes, learn from experience, and remember things— like tiny, gooey computers! Slime molds aren’t fungi, they’re protists (single-celled organisms) that go through some very strange life stages. Over 500 million years old, in their plasmodial form, slime molds can grow into enormous, spread-out, multi-colored goo blobs that can cover large areas—imagine a big, squishy, living puddle.
