slime molds that form a fruiting body in a "volcano" shape.

Distribution, habitats, and ecology

Slime molds, with their small size and moist surface, live mostly in damp habitats including shaded forests, rotting wood, fallen or living leaves, and on bryophytes. Most Myxogastria are terrestrial, though some, such as Didymium aquatilis, are aquatic, and D. nigripes is semi-aquatic. Myxogastria are not limited to wet regions; 34 species
