Clastoderma is a genus of slime molds from the order of the Echinosteliida . It includes four types.

features

The brown sporangia measure 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters in diameter, the stem is dark, the columella very short or completely absent. The peridium breaks down into individual platelets at maturity, which, however, remain fused at the extreme ends of the scalp . The scalp grows from the tip of the columella or the attachment of the sporangium and consists of multiple branched and again anastomosing threads, which are sometimes fused together at their outer ends on the peridial platelets. The spores are light brown.

distribution

The genus is paleotropic as well as neotropic . The nominate form of Clastoderma debaryanum is common and widespread and colonizes deadwood on the ground, while the imperatorium variety is rarer and, like the other three species of the genus, colonizes the bark of living trees.

Systematics and research history

The genus was first described by Mathias Numsen Blytt in 1880 , the type species is Clastoderma debaryanum . The genus includes four species:

Clastoderma debaryanum with a variety:
- Clastoderma debaryanum var. Imperatorium ( first description based on a collection by Tenno Hirohito )
Clastoderma pachypus
Clastoderma dictyosporum
Clastoderma microcarpa
