Slime mold

Description:

The fructifications ( sporophores ) are white, also hyaline or yellow, rarely bluish. Outwardly they appear through the spores formed on the surface of frosting. You stand in serried groups that are often spread four inches or more. The individual small columns, one to ten millimeters high, 0.3 mm wide at the base and taper upward. Sometimes they are up to five members branched, which gives them an antler-like appearance. The membranous substrate ( Hypothallus ) on the substrate surface connect to each other the entire group. The Hypothallus is colored white and drought in tears at small fields. The spores are located on the outside of the surface of the fructifications of about 7 to 20 micrometers long and 1.5 to 3 microns thick stems. The spores themselves are breitelliptisch, drop-shaped or round and measure 8-15 x 6-10 microns. They are colorless to pale green in color and have a yellow granular contents. The plasmodium is watery white to yellow.
