    They do seem smart when they solve mazes and such. I had colleagues who were studying these organisms for robotics research. One of the slime molds was named Bob the Blob and having met him I can confirm he was a slimy blob! Almost cute in its own way.

      sawdust substrate? shiitake take quite a while to develop fruiting bodies once the mycelium dominates the substrate, like up to a year or more in some situations, so I feel your pain!
      I guess the microclimate was more favorable to the slimemold than to your mycelial culture...or it was just opportunistic and moved in and through way faster.
      Contamination is the enemy in my experience (limited though it is)

      Yeah as if intelligence isn’t a massive advantage for any multicellular organism to have. I do wonder if it is just because of the whole human centric world view. Like since we are the only species with intelligence like ours we believe that ours is the main or best form of intelligence while other forms of intelligence aren’t values or studied as much as a result or from the lens of us.

    One more thing, before I somber off back to a warm, damp corner to munch on oats.
    Slime molds have been used in wristwatch heart monitors! They're electrically conductive and the wearer has to keep the slime happy and healthy for the watch to function, generally by feeding them oats! It's a symbiotic relationship and it gets the patients to form a healthy attachment to their goopy partners while at the same time helping themselves to some good mental health.
