<em>Comatricha suksdorfii</em> is a plasmodial slime mold in the order Stemonitidales, class Myxomycetes, named in honor of botanist Wilhelm Nikolaus Suksdorf. As a member of the genus <em>Comatricha</em>, it is characterized by stalked, cylindrical or ovoid sporangia supported by a persistent stalk, with an internal capillitium assisting in spore dispersal. The species inhabits decomposing woody substrates and moist forest litter, where the vegetative plasmodium feeds on bacteria and other microorganisms. Environmental or nutritional cues trigger aggregation and differentiation into fruiting bodies, from which spores are released into the air. <em>C. suksdorfii</em> participates in nutrient cycling and decomposition processes in its woodland habitat. No specific geographic range data are recorded in the current record, and no quantitative biological traits are applicable to this organism. The species has not been evaluated by the IUCN.
