Geweihförmiger Schleimpilz (CERATIOMYXA FRUTICULOSA)
Ceratiomyxa is a genus of plasmodial slime mould within the Eumycetozoa, first described by Pier Antonio Micheli. They are widely distributed and commonly found on decaying wood. The plasmodium often appears as white frost-like growth or thin watery layers on wood. Pillar or wall-like sporangia bud from the plasmodium and develop spores that undergo multiple divisions before they release.

Ceratiomyxa may not actually be a protostelid, but the small, stalked fruiting bodies formed on the external surface are similar to what would be found in a true protostelid.

Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa (White Finger Slime Mold) This slime mold is quite interesting looking. It forms small to large carpets of tiny white translucent finger like spore bearing structures. Smaller patches may be mistaken for insect eggs, and larger patches, from a distance, may look like a sheet of white mold.

Description: The tiny, erect, branched or simple structures of this organism look like small icicles or like tiny pieces of erect coral. They are whitish and translucent with a fuzzy appearance because they produce their spores on their outside surfaces. Edibility: Not edible. Comments: Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa is a slime mold.

Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa
Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, originally regarded as a myxogastrid, but in recent decades included in Protostelia, is a deeply diverging sister to Myxogastria. The protostelids studied here plus varipodid amoebae and the flagellates Phalansterium and Multicilia together probably form the outgroup to macromycetozoa plus Archamoebae.

(class Ceratiomyxomycetes)A genus of slime moulds; in C. fruticulosa the fruiting bodies are variable, but typically they are branched white columns 1-10 mm tall. C. fruticulosa is common and very widely distributed, being found on bark, rotting wood, etc., from Arctic to tropical regions.

The genus currently contains 4 species. The most notable member is Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, a slime mould found in most parts of the world. Other known species of Ceratiomyxa are mostly found in the tropics. Etymology. Ceratiomyxa comes from the Latin word ceratus meaning "waxed" and the ancient Greek word myxa meaning "mucus".

Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\): This image shows the slime mold Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, which looks a bit like an organism you'd find under the sea. This slime mold (likely) belongs to the protostelid group because it makes its spores externally. Each coral-like extension of this slime mold is covered with tiny spores.
