SLIME MOLD FRUITING BODIES

Myxomycete plasmodia are generally from as small as a few centimeters to several meters square in size (among the largest).

There are two types:

acellular, consisting of multiple nuclei encased in a single cell wall,
cellular, which are composites of multiple, individual cells.

Slime molds are thought to be one of the first organisms formed as a collective of individual cells. After slime molds become plasmodial they roam and devour bacteria, fungi, and detritus, moving at a rate of about 1/25th of an inch per hour, or 2 cm per min. among the quicker. At the end of its career as a plasmodium the slime mold settles in a place where there is a draft that can carry aloft its spores, which it releases from structures called “fruiting bodies.”

Myxomycete taxonomy is based on these fruiting bodies.

– Grímnismál 34 (Übersetzung von Arnulf Krause)

„Ormar fleiri liggja
und aski Yggdrasils,
en þat of hyggi hverr ósviðra apa:
Góinn ok Móinn,
þeir ro Grafvitnis synir,
Grábakr ok Grafvölluðr,
Ófnir ok Sváfnir,
hygg ek, at æ skyli
meiðs kvistu má.“

„Mehr Schlangen liegen
unter der Esche Yggdrasill,
als es jeder dumme Tor glaubt;
Goinn und Moinn,
sie sind Grafwitnirs Söhne,
Grabak und Grafwöllud;
Ofnir und Swafnir;
ich meine, dass sie immer
die Zweigedes Baumes abfressen werden.“
