According to Wikipedia "Slime mold or mould is a broad term describing some organisms that use spores to reproduce. Slime molds were formerly classified as fungi or protists, but are no longer considered part of these kingdoms.
Their common name refers to part of some of these organisms' life cycles where they can appear as gelatinous "slime". This is mostly seen with the myxomycetes, which are the only macroscopic slime molds.
Found in a wide variety of colours, more than 900 species of slime mold occur all over the world and feed on microorganisms that live in any type of dead plant material."
