In 2023, 15 species of Lycogala were newly described, and their holotypes were obtained from various collections, including private ones (Leontyev et al. 2023b). To safeguard these specimens from potential loss, in September 2023, they were officially deposited in the State Botanic Collection (SNSB) in Munich, Germany.

Lycogala is a genus of Amoebozoa, including the species Lycogala epidendrum. [2]

Lycogala epidendrum, commonly known as wolf's milk or groening's slime, is a cosmopolitan species of myxogastrid amoeba which is often mistaken for a fungus. The aethalia, or fruiting bodies, occur either scattered or in groups on damp rotten wood, especially on large logs, from June to November.

The plasmodium has formed into pink ball-like structures on the surface of a rotten log. One of these structures has been popped and is oozing a pink slime, full of immature spores. This pink slime gives Lycogala its name, wolf's milk. Photo by Maria Morrow, CC BY-NC.

Lycogala epidendrum [ Lyco (s) = wolf; gala = milk; epi = upon; dendrum = wood] = The pink wolf milk slime mold - this slime mold forms small domes of pink ooze which transform into domes (1/8-1/2") with lavender spores. Plasmodium is reddish.
