Stemonaria pilosa is a myxomycete (slime mould) producing minute sporangia covered with fine hairs on decaying woody plant material in forested environments. Like other myxomycetes, it passes through an amoeboid plasmodial stage before forming reproductive structures. This organism plays a role in microbial community ecology, feeding on bacteria and fungal spores in forest litter and wood.
