TL;DR: The present paper introduces the FoF database to the scientific community and briefly reviews some of the problems associated with classification and identification of the main fungal groups.

TL;DR: The approaches, techniques, and their potential limitations are discussed herein, along with recent advances (e.g., moist chamber cultures, environmental PCR, metagenomics and barcoding attempts) that have been applied to studies of myxomycete ecology and will undoubtedly increase the understanding of myXomycetes communities in the future.

TL;DR: The assemblages of myxomycetes associated with the three types of temperate grasslands found across the western central United States were examined by collecting samples for isolation of these organisms from nine study sites, and only eight species were recovered.

TL;DR: An overview of what is now known about the global distribution and ecology of the myxomycetes, a group of fungus-like organisms usually present and sometimes abundant in terrestrial ecosystems, is provided.

TL;DR: Ten small dictyostelids isolated from samples collected from the surface humus layer of seasonal rainforests of Belize and Guatemala were studied morphologically, and nine were found to represent distinct species, all with an average height of < 2 mm, and phylogenetic analyses show these new isolates belong to Dictyostels group 3.
