Anahtar Sözcükler: Miksomiset, Kestel, Kad›nhan›, Konya, Türkiye Introduction The Myxomycetes are extraordinary living organisms. Members of this class produce fructifications of incredibly varied forms, colours and sizes. Therefore, many mycologists are interested in myxomycetes. Turkey is an ideal location to study myxomycetes because it has natural and profuse vegetation and macro- and microclimates. The first records of myxomycetes were by Lohwag (1957, 1964), who worked on macrofungi. Härkönen & Uotila (1983), Härkönen (1987) and Lado (1994) published new records for Turkey in subsequent years. The number of myxomycete taxa known worldwide is about 1000 (Ergül & Oran, 2005). The first compilation of studies conducted on myxomycetes in Turkey was published by Ergül & Dülger (2000) under the title “Myxomycetes of Turkey”. They reported around 102 taxa of myxomycetes in their report. Later, Sesli & Denchev (2005) .
