Abstract

Myxomycetes samples were collected from 10
different areas of South Amanos Mountains during 2013-2017. The samples were
gathered from leaves, barks, litterfalls, decayed or unspoiled herbal
materials. It was meant to try to develop myxomycetes sporophores by applying
moist chamber culture to collected samples. In addition, myxomycetes, which grew
up in their natural environment were obtained. As a result of field and
laboratory studies 48 taxa belonging to 10 families and 18 genera were
identified and added to Turkey myxobiota. Totally at 304 substrates 122 samples
obtained, 7 myxomycetes were collected only from fields, 115 samples were
developed in moist chamber culture in the laboratory.
