By the way, for your info
Slugs from different families are fungivores. That means they eat dry rot fungus!! It is the case in the Philomycidae (e. g. Philomycus carolinianus and Phylomicus flexuolaris) and Ariolimacidae (Ariolimax californianus), which respectively feed on slime molds (myxomycetes) and mushrooms (basidiomycetes).
This photo was taken on a wall under the floor in a home in Hull which was suffering from dry rot infestation. A family of slugs was found there.
