Paradiacheopsis longipes is a myxomycete distinguished by its notably long stipe (hence longipes) relative to the overall size of its sporangium, growing on dead plant material in humid forests. Its elegant, tall-stalked fruiting bodies are characteristic of the genus. Like other slime moulds, it feeds on microorganisms and organic particles during its plasmodial stage.
