Slime molds eat the microbes on decaying plants but not the microbes on decaying animals. Badhamia (Physarum) polycephala is an unusually adventurous eater who also enjoys mushrooms, oats, and probably a number of other things!

unfortunately we couldnβt use this sample for the analysis in the end, but we think itβs a neat demonstration of some strategic ways physarum polycephalum can make foraging decisions β¨
