Let’s alter it genetically and teach it war so we can have fungi death matches. Set two dishes in a maze and let them find each other and consume each other. Then let’s inject it into things let’s get umbrella with it yea let’s start the foundation and bring in some D class. YEA!!!
Sorry my gamer brain is a little excited

It is the creature that is very biologically different to DNA based animals like us, that used to prey on fungi and other things. Kinda like how a lion preys on the deers.

The stuff about 600 sexes then is complete bologna, it is asexual reproduction with a high rate of loci recombination.

The Creeping Garden is a documentary about these creatures. It’s very interesting and very boring at different times, but overall worth a watch if you’re “into” this subject.

I love that Wired is making videos about topics like these, fascinating! Also, how environmentally friendly and efficient not to fly out to the people you interview but just Skype – it works fine and I imagine it leaves editors with more time to develop other interesting stories.

It’s similar to parallel processing, it tries every approach to the maze simultaneously instead of 1 at a time, and then chooses the shortest 1.

You can get slime molds in your yard if its been raining a lot. Sometimes it looks like puke, but you poke it, and the inside is black and crumbly.

“It has so many sexes”
You wanna elaborate on that one? I only know of male, female, hermaphrodites like certain coals etc, and rare genetic mutations that result in both genitals (intersex).

Interesting topic but this video raised more questions than answers. I don’t feel like it really explained anything about what slime mold is, how it solves mazes, what it’s reproduction is, and why it’s not exactly a fungus.
