Cool that they have different search algorithm
@Ryan Plethra no, that is definitely not true.
That is a projection.
@Ryan Plethra yeah, many articles i red about various slime moulds species mention their photo-sensitivity and behaviour of searching for light when starving or hiding from it when eating... do you know how to search?
i was not expecting to find that they are photo-sensitive, _sense of smell_ seemed to me more than enough for microorganisms to _live long and prosper_ , but I would not call it a single sensory input, there is a *lot* of various types of those sensors for specific molecules, yeah, humans call it smell.. because our sense of smell sucks, but I've heard of dogs blind for years where noone knew it because their smell and memory was enough for them to find their way around until furniture was moved.
@Ryan Plethra yes, most if not all plant cells have various receptors for detecting various colors of light, single-cell algae are swimming toward light, and have you heard of sunflowers? and some plants react to green light by accelerating their growth (for me that counts as recognition). dogs can see blue and yellow but like most other mammals they are unable to see red and green.
no, we don't have the most evolved eyesight in the animal kingdom, peregrine falcons, owls, cats, octopi and mantis shrimps have better eyes depending on what are the criteria of the best eyes is for you, although the last one cannot wink ;) it can see things in colors we cannot imagine, and then go and demolish them, as this little crustacean is pretty brutal (and also brutally pretty).
@Ryan Plethra sunflowers are growing towards the sun (as almost all plants, with exception of some parasitic ones which don't even photosynthetise), how do you think they do that? perhaps smelling the sun position? ;) they surely are able to 'see' ..what they see is a different, yet fascinating question for which i have no answer.
photosynthesis is commonly understood as creation sugars from oxygen and hydrogen molecules - product of splitting water with help from energy from light, so while its not commonly understood to mean that, technically _vitamin D biosynthesis_ could be called as a type of photosynthesis, if you insist.. :D
debunking the debunked.. in biology, every rule has an exception, except maybe for this rule. so far I am enjoying this dialogue, hoping not to be alone in this.
A seriously dissapointing performance by physarum.
I know, I lost $200 on that
What was it even thinking.
We're looking at ancient warfare here...
2016 wasn’t that long ago buddy
@@dxcSOUL Slime molds have been around well before 2016.
"Dayum son"
@@dxcSOUL are you fucking serious?!
more like ww2 battlelines
The orange army is OP so green is forced to retreat, but I like how green manages to build a hidden base near the resources. Orange did a poor job scouting.
LOVE YOU MAN :D
Green just delaying the inevitable. Like Terran lifting their buildings into a corner of the map because they can't accept defeat.
excellant eye! it even rotates around to hide itself better.
Ngl this is pretty awesome. Two actual species meet and converse in their own original way. Best and most accurate alien meeting scene i have ever seen.
I wonder why the yellow one continued onwards past the food sources after having found them? Wasn't the objective of their fanning out to find food? It looked as if they ignored the food and were more interested in contacting the other species.
Maybe the other species is a better nutritious source. Just speculating.
When it passed the food source, the two species were not yet in contact... so the yellow one did not know what lay ahead at that point in time. Somehow it just moved on without consuming the food and without knowing if it would find any more food ahead - technically it was a pure gamble with its very survival at stake.
I'm assuming the "green" species left a chemical trail like all Physarum do, which later dried out. I say so because the "yellow" species seems to be moving into the territory of the green species, following the fan area that was explored by the green species before. Again, speculating. For all we know, they could be saying hi, or mating lol.
Another theory is that, since Physarum "remember" where they've been by leaving a chemical trail, it was saving that food source for later and exploring other options. They are known to play around with their food sometimes. The chemical trail is how they solve puzzles, therefore they must remember where they've been before.
For that to be true we need to assume physarum have a sense of time - They would have to know exactly how much energy resource they have left, and how far they have travelled away from the last known food source to decide that it needs to turn back and reach it before starving to death... lots of complex assumptions which probably might not be true for an organism without any visible processing mechanisms like a brain.

"one single spore can destroy a species"
Omg was looking for a Halo reference.
Where it that easy.
@@KP-tl7ir "Where it so easy"*
The Marine708 then I’ve been saying it wrong for 10 years.
@@KP-tl7ir Dude go look up clips bro.
It's really cool how the microbes started making robot noises towards the end
lildarkie
the only thing is these things are slime molds, they are pretty dam big but yeah for their speed its about right(sorry for neediness)
slime molds are single celled organism each species there is only one
Shout out to that audio, my word, some Aphex Twin level creepy.
my thought exactly ha! :)
Great, now I´m gonna get a million recommendations on slime and mold videos
im excited lol
I'd consider that a positive tbh
Still better than at least half of movies and TV shows these days.
i like how they have different ways of getting around
I seriously don't know how I got here. hello pls help
YT knows your weird tast of entertainment.
i d say you are beyond help :p
trust me i know what i talk about!
We're just passengers in the TH-cam video train
Ahful Obviously somewhere down the line our viewing habits showed an interest in inter-species microbial warfare
It's because you read interspecies romance manga.
Just wanted to say your work is fascinating and very thought provoking!
that's the most alien concept of life my brain can comprehend and yet we were the same species 1.5 billion years ago
And now try imaging an AI
To think that these are the ancient relatives of the dendrite. Fascinating video, more please!
The greenish species seem to constantly retreat and regroup away, collecting itself to put up barriers to the other one. At the beginning, you watch the scout tendril back off, while growing a massive collective (vs the strands previously) that pushes down to separate/protect the main nerve.
Amazing job!!! I'd like to know how easy is to get the spores and cultivate such organism. I have the impression that slime molds feed upon fungi as well as rotten wood. I took pictures here in Brazil. Luis F. Alberti
this video is insane great work!
So it abandoned the popcorn and went for something more readily digestible? A calculating predator right there!
That was like a battle. Awesome 👍
Needed a wider camera angle, a lot of it seems to be out of shot.. otherwise very interesting well done!
Holy shit this is awesome. I thought they just spread from an origin point by using that weird pulsating motion, I had no idea they could move the entire body along a surface like that yellow one.
Hey, i am now working on a research with Physarum. I have a few question about that. Could you suggest a timelapse program? Do you shoot photos in a dark place because this physarums love dark, or how?
Neat film. Cool music. What are the vein-like structures? Are they tubes for distribution of nutrients? Are they like roots? If so, what drives fluids through them?
Toxic mold makes for Toxic comments. This was so awesome I took multiple screen shots throughout.
These aren’t mold tho
Nor are they toxic.
The music made it seem like they were gonna fight to the death
A very good representation of the battle for Stalingrad.
Someone had some fun making this.
Wow that was amazing !
this is fabulous.
I don't even know what's happening, but man those sounds are pleasing to the ear.
Once again the Omnissiah blesses the youtube machine spirit with these amazing findings. I shall send this to rhe Magos Biologicus
would it be possible to send me a few of the Physarum polycephalum by post
(Wäre es möglich, mir einige der Physarum polycephalum per Post zu schicken)
where do you actually get Physarum polycephalum
(Wo bekommt man eigentlich Physarum polycephalum)
finally found this video again
it is very interesting how the physarum as soon as it comes in contact with the other species, doesn't retrieve, it breaks connection for the greater good. the ones at the very end try to flee, but the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few
anyone know who made this background music?
Just found this channel omg that was amazing hahaha
Beautiful.
Love the soundtrack
What is the name of the music track? Tried looking up the names from the credits and came up empty-handed.
is there added music? or whats that noise called?
As the yellow one advances like a wave, the grey one gets swallowed underneath.
This is amazing, anyone know the music?
where's the music from? love it
i would love to create the soundtrack for your next experiment! GREAT video!
its cool how the thin yellow one is like knowing something eat them so it cut the connection to the little one on the bottom oat. and then retreat and run away
Whats the idea behind the solitary strand of Physarum that just stays at the food source after all the other strands branching from it die? is it supplying nutrients back to the rest of the fungus alone?
Can i use this video?
- and who has made the amazing soundtrack??!!
My asshole
@@user-ellievator During your assassination or shortly thereafter?
Alice Eldridge and Phill Minns.
An SCP
Screams from the void
Why does it "pulsate"? Is it a light effect?
from start to finish the yellow slime was heading straight for the green mold.
Theory: It surrounded the food and then continued searching, finally running into the other species; learning of both. It found the other species more nutritious and moved past the food in an attempt to consume the other species. The other species knew it was being attacked and began retreating while simultaneously looking for food where not retreating.
i found a pair of times this kind of fungus at the place were i wash the dishes whats is wood made and keeps wet they were all over the place in one night so i think they grow very fast i didnt knew what it was so i just cleaned they out never knew were they came from
"ahah that? oh no haha that's just my YT recommendation"
I don't get it. Why do they leave the food behind?
What music is that?
still better than Charlie's Angels and Batwoman, combined.
getting cancer is better than those.
What is the foodsource?
Bro you should make an introduction or something. I don't even know what I just watched. It looked cool.
All I want for Christmas is slime mold.
Fantastic
What a fight!
Is, Is the yellow one hunting the green one, it never stop at the food, but continues, totally ignoring it, just to follow the green ons
Mp3 download of song please! Its so wierd I love it!
Wait a minute.. is the mound actually moving or is it the growth transition we are looking at? Is the yellow mould growing while it’s trail decaying or actually moving.
It's not growing. It is a single massive cell that is moving.
How do you get rid of it in fish tanks?
imagine zooming in with a microscope and you see them spearing eachother
I want to adopt one as per where I can find it
Looks like Yellow kicks-Ass again. !!
One's aggressive, other one tries to side-step...
So, did you pay your actors?
we need to see physarum vs itself
Anyone knows why the left one is more yellow?
the hostility in every species!.
brother may i have some oats?
Man, that's one aggressive slime mold!
How am i just now seeing this? So beautiful and strange .Sentient ambulatory fungi....?
which is which?
zooming the wrong way!!! why?!!
Anyone know where i can find these ambient sounds from?
It’s called lemon party exe
wat name this music?
Cool Metroid 2 music!
yeah, you better run!!
Whats the Name of zthe music
Should use lorn as music, this would be awesome for a music vid by them
Thank you for this, algorithm.
So the yellow slime was like "F the oats, we're going to war fellas"
And started attacking the green slime...
You can see the green slime trying to get all of its tiny citizens to safety before the yellow army makes complete landfall
The ending is a bit ambiguous.
what's with the Aphex Twin type sound effects? ...otherwise, this is astoundingding.
There's aliens watching us do the same thing.
"War.....war never changes"
"Dammit, spores"
Thank you for spreading this amazing example of bioart around the globe. Sending lots of from Ecuador

This video : BEEP BOOP BEEEEEEEEEEP!
Why is the left mold blinking? What are these cycles? Day and night cycles? Or what?
It's a single celled organism, sorta, it's actually multiple cells that share a single cell wall, with an N number of nuclei inside. The pulsing is the cell wall membrane undulating to keep the nuclei moving around on the inside as a part of it's processes.
