Slime mold time lapse. Myxamoeba: Giant amoeba engulfs rock: Version-1

Mega-Amoeba: Time lapse 450x speed of a Myxamoeba (Fuligo Septica) engulfing a fist sized rock. The purpose of this behaviour is un-like microscopic amoeba that engulf items for nutrition. These mega-amoeba are forming a structure at a high point to help insure better dispersal of the spores that will be formed. Fuligo septica is also called the scrambled egg slime mold and other less flattering common names. Be sure to watch this in HD. 1080p preferably.
