| Morphology | vegative cells are moderately long 3-6 um and cigar shaped |
| Motility | |
| Specialized structures | The fruiting body are extremely variable
in shape; they may be simple pustules or straight to
meandering ridges, often with tapering tails of
myxospores at their ends or sides, sometimes branched or
star-shped these pads often bear finger of hand shaped
projections of variable size which end either in tips or
tiny glubules; sometimes the whole fruiting body is a
columnar, repeatedly branhed, coral-like mass. The fruiting bodies vary from white, sulfur yellow, pink, brick read, brown |
