Myxomycete plasmodia of 4 types (other than Physarum polycephalum ), namely, Didymium clavus, Hemitrichia vesparium, Stemonitis fusca, and Clastoderma debaryanum, were sectioned and studied by electron microscopy. Organelles of all species have been described. In general, they are similar in the various species studied and resemble those found in animal cells and the cells of some lower plants. Mitotic figures and centrioles were not observed. Fibrils of 3 types were found; they were most prominent in Clastoderma debaryanum.
