McHugh, Roland. Moist chamber culture and field collections of Ecuador myxomycetes. Mycotaxon 92: 107-118. 2005.

ABSTRACT: This study presents the results of a visit to Ecuador undertaken in June-July 2003 with the objective of obtaining and identifying myxomycetes. Field collecting was confined largely to the Pacific coast, particularly around the village of Ayampe. Bark from living trees in this region was collected for subsequent moist chamber culture. A number of lianas from the Amazonian rainforest in the east of the country were collected during the visit and these also were subjected to moist chamber culture. A total of sixty-one myxomycete species was obtained, of which sixteen were new to Ecuador
