Do Slime Molds Rot?

Question

I couldn't find this information on the wiki. I found a slime mold lying around and have absolutely no other source of nutrition. I'd like to hold on to it until I'm starving, but I don't know if it'll rot or not (if it does, I'll just eat it immediately).

Does a slime mold rot?

Answer

Slime molds are actually a kind of fruit, like apples or melons, and are not corpses. Like other non-corpse comestibles, they won't rot away.

As a point of interest, the only corpses that never rot away are lichen and lizards.
