It Came From Outer Space...or Did It?


Science Fiction Plot:

Imagine a life form that consists of thousands of individuals that come together and ‘melt’, forming one giant gelatinous blob, with the ‘brains’ of the individuals floating freely in the mass. Now imagine that the individuals were fungi, but they formed the ‘blob’ it could move to a limited degree.

It really exists – they’re called slime molds.


Good explanation
