Ranade VD , Korade ST, Jagtap AV, Ranadive KR 2012 – Checklist of Myxomycetes from India Mycosphere 3(3), 358–390, Doi 10.5943 /mycosphere/3/3/9

India is rich in Myxomycetes (acellular slime moulds). They are predominantly restricted to high rainfall and humid climatic regions. Following a literature review, a checklist is provided of 373 species of Mxyomycetes, 17 varieties and 4 forms within 50 genera, 11 families and 6 orders. Most records come from the states of , West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnataka in South India, Jammu and Kashmir.

Key Words – acellular slime moulds – fungi – literature review
