Floristics and ecology of Myxomycetes in China 1. A tentative list of known species

Abstract

Four hundred and twelve species of Myxomycetes were reported. The list basically reflects the present knowledge of the species diversity and geographical distribution of Myxomycetes in China. In China, the species diversity of Myxomycetes in the north temperate regions is well known, but that in the tropical and subtropical regions is still inadequately known and will become a key research point in the future.
