Enteridium

Enteridium is a genus of slime molds belonging to the family Dianemataceae. It was formerly included in the Reticulariaceae and in some sources is listed as a synonym of Reticularia Bulliard, 1788, however recent work confirms it as a separate genus and removes it from that family and places it in the order Trichiales, family Dianemataceae.
