A New Myxomycetes Record from Turkey

Abstract

In this study the myxomycetes species were gathered from Kırıkhan (Hatay) in Turkey.  After describing the macroscopic and microscopic features we decided that this species was Paradiacheopsis longipes Hooff & Nann.-Bremek. and it was new record for Turkey. Paradiacheopsis longipes can be distinguished from the other similar-looking species of Paradiacheopsis as follows: A gregarious sporocarps, 0.5-2 mm tall, the sporocarps of other species were scattered, solitary or in small groups and the sporocarps tall is between 0.2-0.9 mm except Paradiacheopsis fimbriata. Morphological, chorological and ecological characteristics of species was revealed and discussed in comparison with the support of relevant literature. In addition, the photographs belonging to new record was taken with light microscopy.
