Description

Reticularia are fascinating slime molds known for their remarkable ability to transform from a network of single cells into a larger, more complex structure. Found on decaying wood, they often form distinctive, net-like patterns, which inspired their name. One interesting feature of reticularia is their crusty, candy-like appearance when mature. These molds primarily thrive in temperate regions and play an essential role in breaking down organic matter in forest ecosystems.
