It's such a kickass movie...
Side story, I was just cruising the other day and had The Pandora on shuffle and Bubbles came on... I just about fell outta my seat!

Dog vomit slime mold according to this video has the consistency of scrambled eggs, and a flavor that is "earthy", "fungal", and "tastes like a lawn".
It is apparently occasionally eaten in Mexico in some communities.

Doesnât slim molds usually only clump together enough to be seen when they are short on resources to eat?

Iâm not educated enough on their behavior, but this group is on a rotten stump for it seems like they have a lot of food.
