Therefore, we aim to determine the presence of corticolous myxomycetes on monumental trees that are located in the most populated province of Bursa city (Osmangazi and Yildirim). Materials and Methods: In August and October 2018, 100 barks of monumental trees located in the Osmangazi and Yildirim) county of Bursa was collected.

Gray), Macbrideola martinii (Alexop. & Beneke), Macbrideola oblonga (Pando, Lado), Physarum gyrosum (Rost.), Physarum notabile (Macbr.) were recorded for Bursa city.
