Figure 9.11 shows three Dictydiaethalium plumbeum fruiting bodies.

The first photo shows the distinct white hypothallus at the periphery of the sporocarp.

On the right, the centre fruitbody has a developed sporocarp and the other two appear to be transitioning from the plasmodium stage to the sporocarp stage.

The next week, on Day 10, they had turned a metallic grey.
