Abstract

In this study, Myxomycetes collected
from 4 different locality from Zorkun Plateau (Osmaniye-Turkey) in 2014-2016.
As a result of field and laboratory studies in two years we reported 28 species
belonging to 9 family and 16 genus. 7 species collected only natural area, 16
species obtained Moist Chamber Technique in laboratory, 5 species obtained both
natural and Moist Chamber Technique. Echinostelium
minutum, Cribraria cancellata, Didymium difforme, Didymium squamulosum,
Physarum album, and Arcyria cinerea
are the most common species. 6 species are abundant, 10 species common and 12
species occasional, and species/genus ratio (S/G) is 1.75. Biodiversity,
distribution, habitat characteristics and numbers of species are discussed in
details.
