Mycetozoa - Wikipedia Mycetozoa is a polyphyletic grouping of slime molds [2] It was originally thought to be a monophyletic clade, but in 2010 it was discovered that protostelia are a polyphyletic group within Conosa [3]
Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) - PNAS Olive defines the Mycetozoa as consisting of three distinct groups (1) The true or plasmodial slime molds (Myxogastria—e g , Physarum polycephalum) are amoeboflagellates, most of which develop into large, reticulate plasmodia with >10 4 synchronously dividing nuclei
Myxomycetes: Classification, Dangers and Treatment | Mold Busters Myxomycetes, or slime molds, are a group of free-living amoeboid and sessile primitive organisms with complicated life cycles Despite not belonging to the kingdom of fungi, they were historically regarded as molds, due to the similarities in appearance and lifestyle
Mycetozoa - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Mycetozoa are amoebozoans primarily inhabiting the soil, ancestrally with three contrasting life cycle stages: an amoeboid trophic stage, an ancestrally biciliate zoospore or dispersal phase, and a fruiting body stage in which walled spores (equivalent to the resting cysts of other protozoa) are raised on stalks for better dispersal
Myxomycetes - Myxotropic The Myxomycetes, or slime moulds, also known as Mycetozoa or Myxogastria, are a group of ameboid protists, considered for many years as a special group of fungi They are microscopic, phagotrophic, non-pathogenic bacterivores, which help to decompose plant remains

Myxomycota: Features and Occurrence | Fungi - Biology Discussion The Myxomycetes, or true slime molds often designated as slime molds, or slime fungi, or Mycetozoa as they are called, are a unique group of fungus-like organisms concerning whose origin and relationships there is no common agreement They exhibit characteristic of both animals and plants
Mycetozoa - Encyclopedia MYCETOZOA (Myxomycetes, Schleimpilze), in zoology, a group of organisms reproducing themselves by spores These are produced in or on sporangia which are formed in the air and the spores are distributed by the currents of air
Eumycetozoa - Wikipedia Eumycetozoa (from Ancient Greek εὖ (eû) ' true ' μύκης (múkēs) ' fungus ' and ζῷον (zôion) ' animal '), or true slime molds, [7] is a diverse group of protists that behave as slime molds and develop fruiting bodies, either as sorocarps or as sporocarps It is a monophyletic group or clade within the phylum Amoebozoa that contains the myxogastrids, dictyostelids and
