Myxomycetes recorded in rapid assessments in Central America and Mexico during 2012-2019

A series of 12 sampling localities in the Central America/central Mexico areas were surveyed for myxomycetes. From these surveys we report 761 records that corresponded to 68 morphospecies within 26 genera. Myxomycetes were recorded in both rural and urban settings and the majority of morphospecies correspond to commonly found taxa. Results pointed that the topics of urban ecology and island biogeography are interesting for myxomycete research. The island of Utila seems an interesting location for future myxomycete research. The importance of communicating the results contained herein resides in the fact that the Central American region has had few dedicated studies on myxomycetes and any piece of information is highly valuable at the moment.
