Dianema depressum is a myxomycete (plasmodial slime mould) in the family Dianemaceae, producing flattened or depressed sporangia on decaying wood and plant litter in humid forest environments. Like other myxomycetes, it passes through an amoeboid plasmodial stage before forming spore-bearing structures. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
