Willkommlangea reticulata

Willkommlangea reticulata is a slime mold species from the order Physarales and the only species of the genus Willkommlangea. It is common worldwide, but rare in Europe. The tropics are possibly the main area of habitat.

==Characteristics== The plasmodium is orange to scarlet. The fruit bodies are mainly plasmodiocarps, which are worm to net-shaped, beige, ochre or yellow to red-brown coloured and red spotted. The strands are occasionally so closely bound together that they produce pseudo-aethaliae, rarely cushion-form fruit bodies, which have a diameter from and expand over several centimetres wide. The hypothallus is inconspicuous or is missing.
