===Slime molds=== The [[dictyostelid]]s are another group formerly classified among the fungi. They are [[slime mold]]s that feed as unicellular [[amoeba]]e, but aggregate into a reproductive stalk and [[sporangium]] under certain conditions. Cells of the reproductive stalk, as well as the [[spore]]s formed at the apex, possess a [[cellulose]] wall.<ref name="Raper 1984">{{cite book | last1 = Raper | first1 = Kenneth B. | first2 = Ann Worley | last2 = Rahn | name-list-style = vanc | date = 1984 | title = The Dictyostelids | location = Princeton, NJ | publisher = Princeton University Press | pages = 99β100| isbn = 978-0-691-08345-2 }}</ref> The spore wall has three layers, the middle one composed primarily of cellulose, while the innermost is sensitive to [[cellulase]] and [[pronase]].<ref name="Raper 1984" />
