Cribraria
''Cribraria'' is a genus of slime molds from the group of Myxogastria. It comprises about 30 species, some of which are extremely difficult to distinguish. Features The fruiting bodies are usually pedunculated sporangia, a calyculus may be present or absent. The delicate peridium is reduced to a structure of vertical, thickened threads that are interconnected by extremely fine, translucent transverse threads.Michael J. Dykstra, Harold W.

Mostly dark, clearly visible dictydine granules are found especially close to the ribs of the peridia, the calyculus and the spores.Marie L.
