I never knew this existed? Anything that has the name slim will be avoided by me 😝

@NyakoKitty Lol. Yes, their Public Relations manager could do more. 🤣 But they are fascinating. Many are capable of movement when in their initial stages. They move to a prime spot then fruit. I once measured a mass transporting itself nearly a foot, then ascending a small stick that was upright in some mulch. Sometimes that’s more exercise than I get! 😂

Haha! It’s always great to learn something new Dan…the activity of slim mold can be measured on an exercise app possibly? Who knew? 😆😆😆
