Narrative
Slime Molds (Myxophyta) can be broken up into three major groups: Myxomyceteae, Acrasieae, Labyrinthuleae. Myxomyceteae group can be likened to a colony of Amoeba-like animals living together. Generally, there are no cell walls between the different Amoebas, so the organisms appear in many respects like a single giant Amoeba with many nuclei. Acrasieae are similar to the Myxomyceteae, but the individual cells retain their identity, and they do not share a common protoplasm. Labyrinthuleae are a group of multi-cellular slime molds without fruiting bodies.

| Myxomycetes - A Handbook of Slime Molds | Stephenson Steven L | This 183 page book can serve as an introduction to the slime molds. With the exception of the cover, there are no color images. However, numerous detailed line drawings and some photos should enable one to achieve an elementary understanding of this group of lifeforms. |
