INVESTIGATION OF MYXOMYCETES (MYXOMYCOTA) IN KIRIKHAN (HATAY PROVINCE)

Abstract

.               The present study was conducted with the samples collected in 10 different stations in Kırıkhan district and vicinity in 2012-2014. The samples were collected from tree barks, leaves, wood and other decayed plant material. The collected materials were used in Moist Chamber Culture to develop myxomycetes sporophores. Furthermore, myxomycetes were collected from their natural environment. In the field and laboratory studies, 45 taxa in 10 families and 22 genera were identified.
