Slime molds primarily reproduce asexually through spore formation, although some species can also reproduce sexually. Asexual reproduction occurs when a slime mold forms spores that germinate into new organisms. However, in certain conditions, sexual reproduction may occur, where two haploid cells fuse to form a diploid organism.
