PS. Personally, I think we should just kidnap a sample if we find ET. Planetary invasion is an ugly business, but someone's gotta do it. How does one anal-probe a slime mold anyhow?

The simple organics include carbon dioxide and hydrogen-and-carbon-containing molecules like methane, ethane and ethylene.
Take a pass on this one until the organism can ferment ethanol.

How does one anal-probe a slime mold anyhow? What if it is a really big slime mold with a nervous system and high mobility, and the "sample" is the equivalent of pulling out it's fingernail. Can't be making ET angry until we know for certain that we can kick it's butt.
