Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Leocarpus fragilis - a slime mould This small but spectacular slime mould is reportedly common throughout Britain, but in 50+ years of collecting I have never seen it before. Its habitat is leaf litter, especially amongst conifers, gorse and birch, and when ready to produce spores the yellow plasmodia ascend and cluster on trees and vegetation up to a metre above ground and produce spprangia. These were on bark of a pine, and each sporangium was about 3mm long hanging from a 2mm stalk. Slime moulds are not true fungi, and more closely related to animals, with the spores germinating to form amoebae. |
