New myxomycete records from the Canary Islands
Journal: Karstenia
Year: 2020

The volcanic Canary Islands constitute a biodiversity hotspot. Although our knowledge of the native flora and fauna species is extensive, the myxobiota of these islands is not so well-known. For this reason, we provide herein eight new records for the checklist of Canarian myxomycetes with accurate descriptions and macro- and microphotographs. The specimens were collected in Tenerife during the months of November and December 1987. All of them are new to the Canary Islands.
