Slime moulds are neither quite plant nor animal, and Thomas Macbride cataloged all of North America's. His survey names and describes the species with keys and plates, opening a strange corner of the living world. Thorough, authoritative, and beautifully illustrated. The classic reference for these peculiar creeping organisms. Discover the slime moulds, nature's shape-shifters that crawl, pulse, and fruit like nothing else alive.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
