Hemitrichia pardina is a myxomycete (slime mould) producing small, stalked, globose to ovoid sporangia with a yellowish to brownish peridium, growing on decaying wood and plant litter in forest habitats. Its internal capillitium threads assist in spore dispersal. This species is widely distributed across temperate and tropical forests and contributes to microbial food webs.
