RE: Fuligo septica - Dog Vomit Slime Mold
when it runs out of food or it gets too dry to continue thriving in its current form, the plasmodium begins its transformation into an aethalium
wow that is very weird, is this the only organism that behaves in this way?
This is, broad strokes, the life cycle of plasmodial slimemolds in general, although different species develop into different shapes and sizes, and this was the only one I'd heard of transforming because of dryness. That last bit could be anecdotal of course, I haven't done a comprehensive read up.
