Overview | |
Grows on hay infusion agar with its food organism which is a cream-colored yeast contaminant (Kitani). Stalks are 4.3-8 µm long, becoming inflated when submerged in water with spore attached. Spores typically multinucleate, more rarely uninucleate, spherical, 11-20.5 µm in diam. with a ring-like hilum where attached to the short stalk, forcibly discharged to a distance of up to 0.2 mm. Plasmodia becoming reticulate, eventually fragmenting into few to many multinucleate prespore cells that give rise directly to the fruiting bodies. Cysts produced, very variable in size and shape, mostly 12-30 x 13.5-50 µm.
