<strong>Myxomycetes</strong> (slime moulds) in <strong>NMW</strong>Alan Orange2012
Introduction<strong>Myxomycetes</strong> (true or plasmodial slime moulds) belong to the Eumycetozoa, within theAmoebozoa, a group of eukaryotes that are basal to a clade containing animals and fungi.Thus although they have traditionally been studied by mycologists they are distant from thetrue fungi.The feeding stage is a multinucleate motile mass known as a plasmodium. The fruiting stageis a dry, fungus-like structure containing abundant spores.The current standard work for identification of the British species is:Ing, B. (1999) The <strong>Myxomycetes</strong> of Britain and Ireland. An Identification Handbook. Slough:Richmond Publishing Co. Ltd.CurationMature fruiting bodies of myxomycetes can be collected and dried, and with few exceptions(such as Ceratiomyxa) they preserve well. Plasmodia cannot be preserved, but it is useful torecord the colour if possible. Semi-mature fruiting bodies may continue to mature if collectedwith the substrate and kept in a cool moist chamber. Collected plasmodia are unlikely to fruit.Specimens should be stored in boxes to prevent crushing; labels should not be allowed totouch the specimen. Ideally, specimens should be stored horizontally and protected fromvibration and shock.In <strong>NMW</strong>, specimens are stored in alphabetical order of the accepted name. Since drawers donot currently contain guide cards, the following lists should be consulted to determine thecorrect name of a specimen.The collection currently contains 157 species. Specimens are mostly from Great Britain, witha few from other parts of Europe or from North America.NomenclatureAccepted names follow nomen.eumycetozoa.com [http://eumycetozoa.com/data/index.php], asearchable online database of slime mould names. The names used are largely in line with Ing(1999).Two lists follow:1. a list of accepted names of taxa present in <strong>NMW</strong>.2. a list of names present on specimens in <strong>NMW</strong>, with the corresponding currently acceptedname.
