:
- I-Lycoperdon ithambile

I-myxomycete ehamba ngezigaba ezijwayelekile ze-myxomycetes ekuthuthukisweni kwayo: i-plasmodium ehambayo kanye nokwakheka kwe-sporophores.
Ikhula kudoti wamaqabunga, imfucumfucu emincane kanye nezinkuni ezinkulu ezifile, ingaphila ezihlahleni eziphilayo, ikakhulukazi, emagxolweni, otshanini nasezihlahleni, kanye nasemanzini ezilwane ezidla uhlaza. I-Plasmodium inyakaza impela, ngakho-ke, ukuze kwakhiwe ama-sporophores (ngendlela elula - imizimba ethela izithelo, lawa lawo masilinda amahle acwebezelayo esiwabonayo) ingakwazi ukukhuphuka phezulu eziqwini zezihlahla nezihlahlana.
I-Sporangia itholakala ngamaqembu aminyene, avame ukuhlakazeka. Usayizi 2-4 mm ukuphakama kanye 0,6-1,6 mm ububanzi. Okumise okweqanda noma i-cylindrical, kungaba ngesimo se-hemisphere, i-sessile noma isiqu esifushane. Uma uthi nhlá, zifana namaqanda ezinambuzane. Uhlu lwemibala lusuka kophuzi kokusanda kwakheka kuya kokucishe kube mnyama kwezindala: ophuzi, ocher, yellow-brown, red-brown, brown to black, shiny.
Umlenze mncane, u-filiform, umhlophe oyisicaba, uphuzi. Kwesinye isikhathi isiqu singagatsha, bese kwakheka i-sporangium ehlukile egatsheni ngalinye.
Ama-spores anombala onsundu, ama-microns angu-11-16 anegobolondo elincanyana ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-warty enkulu.
Impushana yesipore imnyama.
I-Plasmodium inombala ophuzi noma obomvu-ophuzi.
I-Cosmopolitan, isakazeke kakhulu emhlabeni, ezifundeni ezinesimo sezulu esishisayo kanye nendawo ye-taiga.
Ngokufanayo nezinye isikhunta se-slime esinemibala ephuzi, ewolintshi kanye nebomvu.
Akuziwa.
