The Clastodermidae are slime molds and one of the two families in the order of Echinosteliida . It comprises two genera, of which one - Barbeyella - contains only one species, whereas the genus Clastoderma contains four species. The family is spread around the world.

features

The fruiting bodies are always stalked, very small (less than 0.5 millimeters in diameter) sporangia . The peridium is wholly or partly permanent, either it divides into individual "petal-like" segments that remain fused at the base or individual flake-like fragments that continue to adhere to the tips of the capillitium threads. The spores are dark brown as a spore mass.

Systematics

The Clastodermidae were first described in 1971 by Constantine John Alexopoulos and Travis E. Brooks , previously both genera were usually assigned to the Stemonitidae .

Family Clastodermidae
