Physarum Carlylei, Massee. 
Sporangia stipitate, globose, orange-vermilion, minutely fur- 
furaceous; stem about equal in length to diameter of sporangium, 
thick, rugulose, vermilion, expanding downwards into a small, 
wrinkled hypothallus ; capillitium threads thin, yellow, forming a 
dense net, swollen at the angles, and there containing orange- 
coloured granules of lime ; columella absent ; spores globose, 
smooth, dirty violet, 7-8 p diameter. 
On rotten wood. Carlisle (Dr. Carlyle). 
A very distinct species, sporangia 1*5-2 mm. high, scattered 
singly or in groups of two or three. Most nearly related to 
Physarum rubiginosum, Fr., but readily distinguished by the 
smaller spores, and the scattered, stipitate sporangia.
