Unfortunately, Brefeld doesn't say why he chose the name Dictyostelium, just "it may be called Dictyostelium mucoroides" (p15) The article suggests he thought it might be a primitive mushroom, or something between amoeba and true fungus. "Mucoroides" seems to mean "like the mucor species," which are fungi that produce a tiny stem with a spore. It sounds like he was using analogies with other species to choose the name. | |
