slime mold
Slime mold or slime fungus, organism usually classified with
the fungi, but showing equal affinity to the protozoa. Slime
molds have complex life cycles with an animal-like motile
phase, in which feeding and growth occur, and a plant-like
immotile reproductive phase. The motile phase, commonly
found under rotting logs and damp leaves, consists of either
solitary amoebalike cells or a brightly colored multinucleate
mass of protoplasm called a plasmodium, which creeps about
and feeds by amoeboid movement.
[ The Concise Columbia Encyclopedia ]
Science fiction did not invent the slime molds, but it has
borrowed from them in using the idea of sheets of liquid, flowing
cytoplasm engulfing and dissolving every living thing they touch.
What fiction can only imagine, nature has produced, and only their
small size and dependence on coolness, moisture, and darkness has
kept the slime molds from ordinary observation, for they are common
enough.
[ Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1977 ]
