ABSTRACT The myxomycetes associated with samples of dead plant material collected from arid habitats in northeastern South Australia were investigated with the use of the moist chamber culture technique. Since myxomycetes are usually associated with relatively moist conditions, one would not anticipate them to be very common in arid areas. However, 69% of the cultures prepared yielded some evidence (either plasmodia or fruiting bodies) of myxomycetes. A total of 26 species of myxomycetes representing 10 different genera were recorded, including one species (Licea succulenticola) not previously reported from Australia and 11 others that appear to represent new records for South Australia. The distribution of the myxomycetes associated with substrates in arid areas of northeastern South Australia is discussed.

与南澳大利亚东北部干旱栖息地相关的粘菌

摘要 使用湿室培养技术研究了与从南澳大利亚东北部干旱栖息地收集的死植物材料样本相关的粘菌。由于粘菌通常与相对潮湿的条件有关，人们不会预期它们在干旱地区非常普遍。然而，69% 的培养物产生了粘菌的一些证据（疟原虫或子实体）。共记录了代表 10 个不同属的 26 种粘菌，其中一种（Licea succulenticola）以前从未在澳大利亚报道过，另外 11 种似乎代表了南澳大利亚的新记录。讨论了与底物相关的粘菌在南澳大利亚东北部干旱地区的分布。
