Stemonitis ferruginea (Ehrenb., 1818) us- Cyprus


Family: Stemonitidae 

Πρώτη αναφορά για την Κύπρο απο τον Γιώργο και Φανή Κωνσταντίνου.

Stemonitis is a distinctive genus of slime moulds found throughout the world (except Antarctica). They are characterised by the tall brown sporangia, supported on slender stalks, which grow in clusters on rotting wood. The genus was first described by German botanist Johann Gottlieb Gleditsch in 1753. A 2014 estimate suggests that there are 18 species in the genus. Identification within the genus is difficult, and can only be perfored with confidence using a microscope.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
