    Would like to ask, do myxomycota have any particular pigments?

    It blew my mind too when i first learned of what they are capable of it seems a brain is just a bunch of problems really

      Ugh! I know MY brain certainly is! 😆
      But iiuc, we don't yet have a nice theory with a mathematical model of how it "thinks". I guess it's mechanical contractions controlled by chemical stimuli and some nifty little chemical loops. I'm going to enjoy learning about it once they have it more fully understood.,
