Ceratiomyxa porioides, also known as the honeycomb coral slime mold, is a common species of slime mold in the Mycetozoa group.[1][2] Long considered a morphological variant of Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, C. poriodes was described as a separate species in 2024 based on transcriptomes.[3] C. fruticulosa has historically been considered a widespread cosmopolitan species.[4]
