Acrasiomycetes (division Myxomycota) A class of slime moulds in which the feeding stage generally consists of individual amoeboid cells (myxamoebae). Fruiting bodies are formed by aggregation of myxamoebae and differentiation of the resulting pseudoplasmodium. Acrasiomycetes are found in soil, decomposing plant material, etc.
