A Check List of Myxomycetes from
Former Yugoslavia
B. ING & B. IVANCEVIC
Abstract Introduction
111 species of myxomycetes are repor-

ally true of the myxomycetes. Only 23 publica-
tions have been traced, the latest being from
1963. However, some herbarium material, not
associated with the published reports, has been
studied and recent collections have been made
by the present authors and associates. The fol-
lowing list contains a number of uncommon
and interesting species and suggests that more
intensive work in the future will reveal a
healthy diversity of these organisms in the
forests and mountains of former Yugoslavia.
The use of the regional names implies no par-
ticular political association, they are merely
convenient, and well marked, units for recor-
ding purposes.
