Badhamia panicea is a species of slime mold in the family Physaraceae. It was first scientifically described in 1873.[2]
They look like a series of white round growths that are found in clusters on wood chips. As they mature the colour changes to dark grey before going to a light grey form. They have black spores and sit on thin red stems.
