Description

We report the first observation of the plasmodium of Badhamia polycephala on bacterial films from a kitchen sink trap. After placing fragments of bacterial films with the plasmodium present into a moist chamber, we obtained fully matured sporocarps. We confirmed the species identification using light and scanning electron microscopy.
