Carnival candy slime mold
Carnival candy slime mold Arcyria denudata is a Myxomycetes fungus that grows profusely on wood. These are tiny stalked sporangia cups with a capillitium of tubular threads. The vegetative stage is a plasmodium thallus that creeps on the decaying wood like amoeba as it lacks a cellwall.
