Apodachlya is a genus of water mold within the order Leptomitales.*C.J. Alexopolous, Charles W. Mims, M. Blackwell et al., Introductory Mycology, 4th ed. (John Wiley and Sons, Hoboken NJ, 2004)
Physical characteristics Apodachlya are characterized by the structure of their hyphae, which are constricted into septae-like structures which enclose cellulin plugs, preventing the loss of cytoplasm in the case of cell rupture. They reproduce asexually in the water. Zoospores encyst at the tip in a manner similar to the genus Achlya.
