He myxomycete e hele ana ma nā pae maʻamau no ka myxomycetes i kona ulu ʻana: mobile plasmodium a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā sporophores.
Hoʻoulu ia ma nā lau lau, nā ʻōpala liʻiliʻi a me nā lāʻau make nui, hiki ke ola ma luna o nā lāʻau ola, ʻo ia hoʻi, ma ka ʻili, ka mauʻu a me nā kumu lāʻau, a me nā kulu o nā holoholona herbivorous. ʻO Plasmodium ka mea paʻa loa, no laila, no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā sporophores (ma ke ʻano maʻalahi - nā kino hua, ʻo ia kēlā mau puʻupuʻu ʻālohilohi nani a mākou e ʻike ai) hiki iā ia ke piʻi kiʻekiʻe ma luna o nā kumu lāʻau a me nā kumu lāʻau.
Aia ʻo Sporangia i nā pūʻulu paʻa, ʻaʻole i hoʻopuehu pinepine ʻia. Nui 2-4 mm ke kiʻekiʻe a me 0,6-1,6 mm ke anawaena. ʻO ke ʻano hua manu a i ʻole cylindrical, hiki ke ʻano o ka hemisphere, sessile a i ʻole ma kahi kumu pōkole. I ka nana aku, ua like lakou me na hua pepeke. Mai ka melemele i hana hou ʻia a aneane ʻeleʻele i nā mea kahiko: melemele, ʻōka, melemele-ʻeleʻele, ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula, ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele, ʻālohilohi.
He lahilahi ka wāwae, filiform, keʻokeʻo pālahalaha, melemele. I kekahi manawa hiki i ke kumu ke lālā, a laila hoʻokumu ʻia kahi sporangium kaʻawale ma kēlā me kēia lālā.
He ʻeleʻele nā spores, 11-16 microns me ka ʻili lahilahi ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, warty nui.
ʻeleʻele ka pauka spore.
He melemele a ʻulaʻula paha ka plasmodium.
ʻO Cosmopolitan, laha loa i ka honua, ma nā wahi me kahi anuanu a ma ka ʻāpana taiga.
E like me nā ʻāpana slime ʻē aʻe i ka melemele, ka ʻalani a me ka ʻulaʻula.
ʻAʻoheʻike.
