Physarum polycephalum

Species of slime mold, model organism

Physarum polycephalum, an acellular slime mold, or myxomycete, is an amoeba with diverse cellular forms and broad geographic distribution. The "acellular" moniker derives from the plasmodial stage of the life cycle: the plasmodium is a bright yellow macroscopic multinucleate coenocyte shaped in a network of interlaced tubes.

From Wikipedia

Physarum polycephalum, an acellular slime mold, or myxomycete, is an amoeba with diverse cellular forms and broad geographic distribution. The "acellular" moniker derives from the plasmodial stage of the life cycle: the plasmodium is a bright yellow macroscopic multinucleate coenocyte shaped in a network of interlaced tubes. This stage of the life cycle, along with its preference for damp shady habitats, likely contributed to the original mischaracterization of the organism as a fungus. P. polycephalum is used as a model organism for research into motility, cellular differentiation, chemotaxis, cellular compatibility, and the cell cycle. It is commonly cultivated.
