The members of Myxomycetes are called slime molds because they contain and secrete slime. They are included in lower fungi. Their somatic phase is a multinucleate, diploid holocarpic Plasmodium (a product of syngamy).
In Plasmodium, propagation occurs through fission or thick walled cysts or sclerotium-like structures. Reproduction takes place by the formation of uninucleate, thick-walled resting spores which are produced within minute fruiting bodies like structures i.e., the sporangia, however, the true fruiting bodies are absent in slime molds.
Fruiting bodies and mycelium are absent in lower fungi Protonoma is not formed in fungi.
