Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Slime Molds Checklist
Overview
Preliminary checklist of myxomycetes for - Great Smoky Mts. Nat. Park.
This checklist includes all records of myxomycetes within the national park
published up to now, according to our literature data base. The main literature
source is Welden (1951), publishing an annotated checklist of the myxomycetes
stemming almost entirely from field collections.
For species collected more than once, a first rough abundance estimation was
done according to the following scale (Stephenson et al. 1993): A - abundant, C
- common, 0 - occasionally, R-rare). Species without abundance estimations are
known from a single record only.
