Badhamia lilacina is a myxomycete (slime mould) producing clustered, sessile or short-stalked sporangia with a pale to lilac-tinged peridium on decaying wood, bark, and plant litter in woodland habitats. Like other Badhamia species, it has a plasmodial feeding stage during which it engulfs bacteria and organic particles. It is cosmopolitan, found in temperate and tropical forests worldwide.
