A member of the Kingdom Protista and subkingdom
Myxomycetes. A creeping mass of clear plasmodium that flows over damp
debris and eat microscopic organisms such as bacteria and fungal spores
and hyphae. Many times found growing on wood mulches that are used
in landscaping. Not a Fungus but many times associated with this Kingdom.
Usually not noticed until they produce their colorful fruiting bodies.
Has picked up the nick name "Dog Vomit Fungus". |
