Macbride is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive descriptive list of all species of Myxomycetes that have been reported from North America. It aims to detail the fascinating characteristics, classifications, and life cycles of slime-moulds, organisms that play a vital role in moisture-rich ecosystems. The opening of the book presents an introduction that describes the Myxomycetes, or slime-moulds, highlighting their unique characteristics and ecological significance. Macbride explains their delicate and beautiful nature, often found in moist habitats where they contribute to the decomposition of organic matter. He differentiates between the vegetative phase, which consists of a multinuclear protoplasm known as plasmodium, and the reproductive phase that produces spores. This foundation sets up a scientific exploration of various slime-mould species, their lifecycle processes, and their taxonomic classification, inviting readers to appreciate the intricate world of these fascinating organisms.
