Fuligo is a genus of slime molds from the Myxogastria group , it comprises 9 species. The most widespread and most common type is the so-called yellow tan blossom ( Fuligo septica ).

features

The fruiting bodies are ethers , which occasionally reach a circumference of several decimeters. They consist of several individual fruit bodies that are tightly intertwined and are sometimes tubular to irregular in shape and have a calcareous pseudocapillitium that is usually only rudimentary, but rarely completely preserved . Overall, they are rounded to irregular in outline, otherwise flat to arched, pillow-shaped. The membrane-like hypothallus protrudes only a little over the base of the fruiting body and is stringy-reticulate to spongy-porous. The occasionally missing outer skin ( cortex ) is rough to fragile and smooth to foam-like roughened.

The physaroid to slightly badhamoid capillitium consists of spindle-shaped calcareous nodules that are irregularly elongated or shell- shaped, the threads are connected to one another like a network and can occasionally be missing. The spores are dark brown to black in bulk.

distribution

The genus is proven worldwide. In particular, the cosmopolitan yellow tan blossom ( Fuligo septica ) is a very common species.

Systematics and research history

The genus was first described by Albrecht von Haller in 1768 , the type species is Fuligo septica . A related genus is Physarum .

Fuligo includes around ten species. Fuligo candida and Fuligo rufa , which were sometimes seen as variations of Fuligo septica , are now considered to be separate species. The status of Fuligo laevis is controversial.
