Myxomycetes \Myx`o*my*ce"tes\, n. pl. [NL.; Gr. ? mucus, slime +
myceles.] (Bot.)
A class of peculiar organisms, the slime molds, formerly
regarded as animals (Mycetozoa), but now generally thought to
be plants and often separated as a distinct phylum
(Myxophyta). They are found on damp earth and decaying
vegetable matter, and consist of naked masses of protoplasm,
often of considerable size, which creep very slowly over the
surface and ingest solid food. -- {Myx`o*my*ce"tous}, a.
