Slime Mold Macro Gallery

Slime molds are so close to being both plant and animal... that it's like they can't make up their minds... and they're thinking now that maybe it's this, is who's been running the earth all this time. -David St. Hubbins

An amazing gallery (don't miss the animated one at the end!) of macro photography of Slime Molds. Related: they can solve a maze (more). And for those, like me, who didn't get the joke, Mr. Hubbins is no ordinary person: he is a fictional character.

Note the connection to Ernst Haeckel and the use in spotworks halfway down this.
