Lepidoderma is a widespread species of slime molds the myxogastria . It includes nine types.

features

The fruiting bodies are sessile to stalked sporocarp or plasmodiocarp . The permanent hypothallus is thin to thickened like a membrane. The peridium consists of one or two membrane-like thin or cartilage-like layers that are covered with a layer of lime crystals that either form a crust or are star-, scale- or spherical. The peridium opens only irregularly. Columella or pseudocolumella are usually absent.

The simply branched and cross-connected scalp is free of lime, thin and slightly curved, except for Lepidoderma granuliferum . The spores are black-brown to black in mass, brown to dark brown in transmitted light, their surface is coarse to finely prickly.

distribution

Lepidoderma species are mostly common montane, often they live nivicol. They are widespread across the globe, but there is no evidence from Africa or South America.

Systematics and research history

The genus was first described by Anton de Bary in 1873 , the type species is Lepidoderma tigrinum . Lepidoderma includes nine types:
