Pale Yellow Slime Mould, False Puffball, Enteridium lycoperdon, Reticulariaceae, Mycetozoa, Myxogastria, Amoebozoa. Syn. Reticularia lycoperdon, Fuligo lycoperdon, Lycogala punctata, Lycogala turbinata, Mucor lycogalus, Reticularia umbrina, Enteridium lycoperdon, Strongylium fuliginoides. The slime mould has two phases to its life cycle: an actively feeding plasmodial stage and a reproductive sporangial stage. The plasmodial phase (shown here) is mobile and is multi-nucleate, formed by the fusion of single cells and typically amoeboid in its movements, through cytoplasmic streaming.
