Physarum viride is a vibrantly coloured myxomycete (slime mould) producing small, bright yellow-green sporangia on decaying organic matter including dead wood, leaves, and litter in forest habitats. Like all Physarum species, it spends part of its life as a multinucleate plasmodium that creeps across substrates to engulf food particles. This species is found in moist woodlands across temperate and tropical zones.
