I don’t know much of anything about slime molds (other than they are in a different kingdom than fungi :joy:), so this was a fascinating article - https://knowablemagazine.org/content/article/living-world/2026/learning-memory-learning-physarum-polycephalum-slime-mold

They are fascinating, aren’t they? Thanks for posting. For anyone that enjoyed the article, I found this radio programme on slime moulds. Available from BBC Sounds: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002691y or Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6BFilWB9AovyJEBQUbkkyG?si=d25d8b5b028941d0
