Slime molds were formerly classified as fungi but are no longer considered part of this kingdom.Although not related to one another, they are still sometimes grouped for convenience within the paraphyletic group referred to as kingdom Protista. Found in a wide variety of colors, more than 900 species of slime mold occur all over the world. Their common name refers to part of some of these organisms' life cycles where they can appear as gelatinous "slime".
