Key To Orders of Myxomycetes

[Lancashire Lad]

Found this basic key which might be useful to anyone interested in Myxo's.

I've also added the link to WAB's Fungi Refrence Section.

NB: The "Fungi Links" tab is bringing up a page not found error, but the links can still be accessed by clicking on the "useful Links" link at the very bottom of the page.

Regards,
Mike.

Thanks Mike.
This page on their website is also useful for very detailed drawings of the micro features.
Myxomycetes Images
And also a Danish key:
Myxomycetes - Keys

I've not got into these organisms, but as they lurk in the same sorts of places as fungi and I keep coming across them I've started to take a casual interest.

Hi Melanie,

I've added those links to the useful links part of the Fungi Reference section.
