Elaeomyxa is a genus of slime molds in the family Lamprodermataceae.^[1] As of May 2022^[update], there are four known species in the genus.^[1] Species in this genus have been documented in North America, Eurasia, Africa, and Australasia.^[1]

Biology

The Elaeomyxa genus belongs to the true slime mold phylum Mycetozoa (also known as Myxomycetes) of fungus-like organisms that have at different times been classified in the protist, animal, and fungi kingdoms.^[2]^[3] Like other true slime molds, Elaeomyxa species have distinct life cycle phases.^[3] During the trophic (feeding or ingesting) stage,^[a] called the plasmodium, the slime mold ingests food in an amoeba-like manner.^[3] The slime mold then transitions to the reproductive phase, in which fruiting bodies produce spores for reproduction.^[3]

Species

The Elaeomyxa genus contains the following species:

Elaeomyxa australiensis (S.L. Stephenson, G. Moreno & H. Singer) G. Moreno, H. Singer & S.L. Stephenson, 2008^[1]
Elaeomyxa cerifera (G. Lister) Hagelst., 1942^[1]
Elaeomyxa miyazakiensis (Emoto) Hagelst., 1942^[1]^[4]
Elaeomyxa reticulospora (Gilert) G. Moreno, H. Singer & S.L. Stephenson, 2008^[1]
