Image description: Clastoderma debaryanum is a myxomycete generally only about 700um tall. They are protists with amoeboid and spore-forming stages. They play a vital role in ecosystems by decomposing organic matter, aiding nutrient cycling. Myxomycetes also play a role in competing against some soilborne plant pathogens.
