Once again it would depend on the campaign world, wouldn't it? Take Pathfinder, for example.

You would use Naturalist for slimes that are mutated or magical versions of moss, lichens, algae such as Brown Mold or Slime Mold.

Turn to Occultism for slimes that are too weird for this world like a Colour Out of Space or a Shoggoth.

Thaumatology could be useful for slimes that are the direct result of magical experimentation. Alchemical Ooze Swarms and Gelatinous Cubes would be examples of these.
