Clastoderma debaryanum is a species of slime mold in the family Clastodermataceae. It has been recorded in every continent except for Antarctica.[1]

This species is found on decaying wood or bark, but is not uncommon on the bark of living trees in moist chamber culture.[2]

Description

The fruiting bodies are a stalked sporangium, approximately 1 mm tall.[2][3] Light brown and globular sporotheca between 0.1 and 0.2 mm in diameter. Spores are 8–11 µm in diameter, with small warts. Plasmodium starts a watery white, but grows darker with age.[2]
