In this chapter we provide a brief introduction to some of the foraging behaviours of slime moulds and mycelial fungi. Growth in each organism is indeterminate, as their precise morphology is crucially determined by environmental influences, including resource distribution. We also describe a number of algorithms which have drawn inspiration from these behaviours in order to solve graph and realvalue optimisation problems.
