: They live independently in soil or decaying plant matter eating bacteria. They only come together into a visible structure as a survival mechanism to cast off spores.

If you are studying Acrasiomycetes, these are the core biological characteristics that define them: acrasiomycetes

: Because they never fuse their cell membranes, they are often used by scientists to study how single-celled life evolved the ability to cooperate and build multicellular organisms. : They live independently in soil or decaying

: The individual amoebas move by abruptly extending lobe-like "false feet" to pull themselves forward. : The individual amoebas move by abruptly extending

The class does not form a "solid piece" or a single fused mass at any point in its life cycle. Instead, these organisms are defined as cellular slime molds , meaning they maintain their individual cell membranes at all times.

The confusion likely stems from comparing them to a different group of slime molds. 🔬 Acrasiomycetes vs. Myxomycetes
