Exploring the World of Plants and Fungi
I absolutely love the personal touch Tasha's videos have developed. She created a nice niche for herself on one of RUclips's best channels.
They do seem smart when they solve mazes and such. I had colleagues who were studying these organisms for robotics research. One of the slime molds was named Bob the Blob and having met him I can confirm he was a slimy blob! Almost cute in its own way.
I believe it! 😃
I welcome our new slime mold overlords.
200 million years later
Slithersucker: Ah, college days were the best.
A The Future is Wild fan, neat!
Slime mold: like that uniquely cool kid you want to hang out with but your other friends just think is "weird"...
grow a pair
am i similar to that slime mold? lol, i have this one good friend that are good with me in private, but cold with me everytime he walks with his friends.
And yes, im fully aware that i may look (positively) weird compared to his friends,
and i also aware they may boring to me as well m
@@male20yearsoldsounds like you just have a fake friend who just wants to be with you to waste time until he’s with other friends
That is. E
@@hen334sounds more like the friend thinks that the person and the other friends would not get aling that well.
Wow, I've known about Slime Molds for a long time, but this is the first time I've ever heard that they're actually Amoebas. You learn something new even when watching videos on subjects you've heard and watched many times already.
You see now if someone calls you a Slime Ball, take it as a compliment.
😂
Slime mold at the lab: "Life is hard, but conveniently predictable."
The salt on the bridge
"It gets easier every day. But you have to do it every day, that's the hard part"
Slime molds are jerks. They killed my shiitake mycelium pile.
sawdust substrate? shiitake take quite a while to develop fruiting bodies once the mycelium dominates the substrate, like up to a year or more in some situations, so I feel your pain!
I guess the microclimate was more favorable to the slimemold than to your mycelial culture...or it was just opportunistic and moved in and through way faster.
Contamination is the enemy in my experience (limited though it is)
@@samhaines8228 Solid logs. Thee years old, killed in one night. Once the mold was in, there was no hope.
Thanks for the perspective! Doesn't make me like the molds any more, though. The speed it moved at was really shocking! Only took one rain.
@@MadamFoogie that would be shocking! wow!
@@samhaines8228 For clarity, it was a chocolate tube slime. So gross and hairy looking. And it was HUGE! Stretching like twenty yards, trailing a b-line right into my log pile. I had no idea it could move that fast and in such volume. I still gag just thinking of it.
Hmmm. Sorry for your loss. Interesting conversation.
I love these slime molds... They are beyond fascinating and they really challenge our conceptualization of intelligence.
Once they are able to communicate with Orcas, it’s over for us
I've been waiting for an episode on slime molds forever!! ❤ So glad it finally came!
Hey Tasha! LOVE your kitty Rumi ❤❤❤
Love that Ze Frank joke at the end.
Had a colony of these peeps pop up a few days ago. They had the most vibrant yellow.
Aww such a cute kitty 🐈😊
This was fascinating, thank you!
The cat is so cute!
I loved this video and I LOVE your cats and the bond you share with them.
The information and presentation on slime molds was incredibly fascinating, but the blooper reel was truly funny, heartwarming and endearing 😊
Slime molds are fascinating!
Also, that kitty 😍
I love the cat roomie adorable little guy
The fact that science assumes most of the biosphere is "unintelligent" or "lacks intelligence".... reeeeaaaally bothers me... 😑
Yeah as if intelligence isn’t a massive advantage for any multicellular organism to have. I do wonder if it is just because of the whole human centric world view. Like since we are the only species with intelligence like ours we believe that ours is the main or best form of intelligence while other forms of intelligence aren’t values or studied as much as a result or from the lens of us.
@@victory8928 Precisely. That view bothers me. All living things possess some form of intelligence. I'm glad that people are finally starting to see it, thou. I've been aware of it all my life.
LOL I play "om-noms" with my Chihuahua.😂
Hello Animallogic! Thank you 🙏 for another badass video!
Venom got that adrenaline momentum
I wonder if Slime Molds could be used as organic tissue in a robot.
Which would be useful because.... ?
@@a5centBecause that’s something we’re trying to do in robotics?
@@the_linguist_ll
lol
Surely you don't take such circular reasoning seriously. Slime mold could have provided a better answer.
@@a5cent Okay bud. Most of robotics is now focused on finding ways for more fluid / free motion than traditional linkages can offer. Compliant mechanisms, and soft body robotics are the current forefronts of this, but having a machine with soft tissue that could not only be the source of movement itself but also the brain would be a massive breakthrough
6:26 i dont think they went that way. i think there is a shorter way between those two points
Amazing footage of them
Some of these photos look like tasty desserts! 1:23 reminds me of caramel sticks dusted with cocoa powder.
Amoebas dont have cell walls. They may have shells like testate amoeba, but not cell walls. Slime molds don't have cell walls, their spores do. Correct me if I'm wrong.
YES, a video on slime molds! Love these weird little guys!
Never thought these rudimentary looking life forms could be this intelligent.
Great video. I learned something new.
How about an episode on Bromeliads, like those that act like nurseries for amphibians and Tillandsias that can grow on wire?
Tasha, @Animalogic, you are the kind of person most people don't even know they wish they knew/had in their lives. So smart, funny, amiable, nevermind beautiful. You make learning easy, like the elementary or junior high school teacher every kid wished they had. If you ever have kids, they will never know now lucky they are, compared to.... well... gurl. You see where we at.
Ive heard of using this biology for a baseline of new computing. Theoretically it can be on the level of quantum computing using less power and having creativity. What a neat biologic way of computing. I think its brilliant.
One more thing, before I somber off back to a warm, damp corner to munch on oats.
Slime molds have been used in wristwatch heart monitors! They're electrically conductive and the wearer has to keep the slime happy and healthy for the watch to function, generally by feeding them oats! It's a symbiotic relationship and it gets the patients to form a healthy attachment to their goopy partners while at the same time helping themselves to some good mental health.
Slimes deserve love! Doki doki~
OMG 🤩 it finally happened! Slime molds!
Please talk about phantom orchids next!
Scarier than Cordyceps or Alien. Yikes.
Tasha, your cat is adorable.
Hi, Tasha! Hi kitty!
love the smile (the kitten did not hurt) and a fun presentation
Tasha, great video, love your shirt!
I love slime mold!!! Great video
Next time I feel underestimated I'll say "I feel like brainless amoeba."
If its spores is it not possible for it to go the other way? I mean. Orchid seeds can travel far bc its so small, lightweight making them airborne
I can't remember if you did a video on this already, but chlorella and spirolina have some really neat histories beyond being health supplements.
It would also be good to do videos on the invasive plants in Ontario. There were a few more added this year that definitely deserve some coverage and awareness.
Awesome information and funny😂😂
Next: Giant one cell creatures
I know slime mold is an amoeba. But the yellow slime mole looks similar to the opening sequence for ‘The Last of Us.’ 😂😂😂
They're fascinating!!
Oh my gosh I frickin LOVE slime molds!!
Okay but did it build an immunity to the salt, learn the path, or get motivated with the confirmation of the treat?
at 6:26 the Closest distance between the countries Borders is only 3557 km. / Miles: 2210 the earth is not flat you know
and from the center of each country it's 12549.39 km. / Miles: 7797.83
i mean it's still impressive i just don't like not complete info
It"s not really intelligence as much as mathmatics. When you watch a slime spread out you may notice that it forms a shape not dissimilar to the A* algorithm which is also used for efficient pathfinding to a destination. We already see many mathmatical principles within biology such as the fibonacci spiral allowing for the formation of everything from snail shells to flowers, so having more elaborate algorithms baked into biologcal behavioirs is not unexpected.
I mean yeah but you can say the same for neural cells
I love liverworts.
The green ones are my favorite 🐸
Imagine aliens visit earth and they’re living balls of snot, nature never fails to surprise 🫣👽👾
My grandma was the first biologist who ever been interested by the blob she is dead now she never talked about it and now im sad
kitty!!! 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
D'awwww I'm a fool for Siamese cats
So much love to Rumi!!!
06:22 Thanks for acknowledging Zealandia as a continent!
So I was right slime molds are smarter than trumpers.
I would like to see a video on araucarias, the ancient gymnosperm from South America 🇧🇷
I'm a very happy slimegirl now, thanks!
I love this channel ❤
I wrote a character once as a kid who had a symbiotic relationship with an otherwise parasitic slime mold. And now witching this I'm realizing a lot of the intelligence I gave it is a lot closer to reality that 13 year old me could have realized.
At another channel I suggested Slime Mould abilities utilised a kind of analogue computation. Cue a lot of confusion over the terms "analogue" and "computation".
Talk about Dotter plants next yeah
Already done ✅ ruclips.net/video/erIgEEZ_tmo/видео.htmlsi=hmNXVPwlntwlHRfu
Slime mold is looks really 'sci-fi'
The yellow slime looks like raw Scrambled eggs
capcom better have this as the main driving force in the next resident evil game
There’s a monster bursting out of your stomach!!!
Rumi is adorable
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
TASHA is INSANE!!!!😁
Venom and Carnage waiting to evolve.
Aaaw... cute catto 🥰
Gee Wally slime mold did my homework faster than chat gpt 4
They look like Dr Seuss trees!
This is how op is collective conciousness
I wish slime mold were more common and less disgusting looking; imagine selling slime mold at a pet store
Now can it give me the square root of 256?
Thanks again
Tasha is the greatest because she loves plants 😎
Love the cats. But why do they think the slime mold traveled over the ocean. Instead of just being as old as Gondwana? Just separated by time.
These days, Slime is smarter than most uni students.
Oohh a special guest! 🐱
Nooooot the vid to watch while wearing headphones. My poor misophonic ears
How about venomous land critters and water critters that people play with without knowing that it could kill them.
Today, a touch of X file! Hardly identifiable creature is on. Extremely intriguing & fascinating! A future companion to mankind .....?
Egon Spengler has entered the chat.
How is Tasha the Amazon's career as a rapper going?
how big can a slime mold grow in terms of the area it covers?
reason is just a not-gate away from any charged shape
These little creatures must be in the kingdom of Protists.
slime mold so cool
I wonder if anybody has used cellular automata (similar to the Game of Life) to simulate slime mold behavior?
Bur that's not intelligence. They are just casting a wide net and the most efficient paths survive while others don't.
