Achlya bisexualis Coker & Couch (1927) |
|
Achlya bisexualis is a water mold (fungus). It is described as being close to achlya flagellata, differing by it striking heterothallism and less elongated gemmae.
In 1936, it was discovered that the species contains a number of hermaphrodite females, which behave as true females in the presence of strong males.
