What is the "real body" of slime molds......
According to popular science bloggers, slime molds are neither fungi nor bacteria, but a kind of eukaryotic domain-amoeba group-slime bacteria, which are non-toxic and harmless. It has two phases throughout its life: the vegetative phase and the reproductive phase.
The slime molds in the vegetative stage are called protoplasm masses, which are a bit like a network of mucus and grow in dark and damp places, such as the back of fallen wood, the crevices of floor tiles, and the humus layer. They are constantly splitting into branches and crawling around, devouring food particles to obtain nutrients, so they crawl around looking for something to eat, much like animals.
When it reaches the breeding stage, the slime mold will crawl to a slightly dry, sunny area, stop eating, and the whole protoplasm mass will collectively metamorphose, growing fruiting bodies like mushrooms or clumps of powder to disperse spores.
