    Uploaded by

    Johari Jalinas
    Slim Molds (Lycogala epidendrum) were photographed by Johari Jalinas growing in Hutan Simpan Bangi, UKM. The description details that the fruiting bodies are several to many per cluster, spherical to irregular in shape, pinkish gray to black in color and 3 to 15 millimeters broad. The cortex is warted or rough and the pseudocapillitium is composed of long, branching tubules with transverse folds. The spores are initially pink but later pale ochraceous, reticulate and 6 to 8 micrometers in diameter. Slim Molds were found growing on decaying wood.
