Overview | |
Cultivated on oak bark agar and lactose-yeast extract agar in association with bacteria isolated from the original substrate. Numerous sporocarps stalkless but attached to agar surface by means of a short sheath, others with sheath-covered stalks 1-19 µm long. Spores uninucleate, nondeciduous, globose, 7-22 µm in diam. Spores geminate to produce a uninucleate, thin amoeba with narrow, filose subpseudopodia. Single, uninucleate amoeba rounds up to produce a prespore cell. Cysts variable and size, uninucleate to multinucleate due to encystment of plasmodia, 5-49 µm in diam. or 3-75 x 5-210 µm.
