Fig 1. A cellular slime mold, Lamproderma sp., growing on the surface of a clover leaf. The globose heads are about 0.5 mm diameter.
Fig 2. Lamproderma sp. at higher magnification, showing stalks that erupt through the epidermis of the clover leaf, bearing globose spore-bearing heads.
Fig 3. The same organism at higher magnification. Note the conspicuous stalks composed of dead amoeboid cells, and the flared bases of the stalks. [All three images were taken with a Nikon "Coolpix" 3100 digital camera, by holding the camera lens against one of the eyepieces of a binocular stereomicroscope] |
