Elaeomyxa cerifera (Myxomycete). Slime Mold. This species has a characteristic ring of wax around the top of the stalk. The thin-film irdescence occurs consistently as bands of different colours, possible due to a consistent variation in the peridial membrane thickness.

Elaeomyxa Cerifera, first identified in 1942. This slime mold sporophores split open to release spores which sparkle like a disco ball. It looks like a whole Galaxy in a single mushroom.

Elaeomyxa Cerifera

Was first identified in 1942. They are slime mold sporophores that can split open to release spores that sparkle like a disco ball.

It looks like a galaxy

But these aren’t mushrooms!

They aren’t even fungi.. Plasmodial slime molds are in Amoebozoa with organisms like Amoeba proteus.

While fungi belong to the genetic supergroup Obazoa with the animals, a Komodo dragon is more closely related to fungi than a slime is.

They wary in size from less than a millimeter to several centimeters.

The Amethyst Mushroom Is Like A GalaxyIn 1942, Amethyst mushrooms, Elaeomyxa Cerifera was found. In order to dismissal ascospores like a glowing star the fungi’s fruiting structures splits are open. It’s totally like a galaxy hidden in mushroom. These can be seen in big logs or rostrum that are encrusted with lichen or leaflike hepatics.More details/photos: http://bit.ly/3Z4mgeH

Az ametiszt gomba olyan, mint egy galaxis 1942-ben találták meg az ametiszt gombát, az Elaeomyxa Cerifera-t. Annak érdekében, hogy az aszkospórákat elbocsássák, mint egy fénylő csillagot, a gomba termőszerkezetét felhasítja. Ez teljesen olyan, mint egy galaxis, ami a gombában rejtőzik. Ezek nagy fatörzsekben vagy rostrumokban láthatók, amelyek zuzmóval vagy levélszerű hepatikusokkal vannak bevonva.
