The group is about Slime Molds (or Moulds, if you're a citizen of the UK or the commonwealth).
Not really an animal, not really fungus, not a plant: slime molds don't fit well into our attempts to pin them into a neat category. Once called "fungus animals", they have an amoeba stage, a plasmodium stage and a fruiting body stage.
In their amoebic stage, they act like single-celled creatures, sliding around and engulfing fungal spores and bacteria. In their plasmodium stage, the single-celled amoeba coalesce into a multi-cellular mass that moves through the ground and around obstacles. In its fruiting body stage, the plasmodium transforms itself into an object capable of spreading spores and continuing the process.
