In this study, 3 new species and 1 new genus were recorded for the first time and added to the list of Turkish Myxomycetes. These new records are Dictydiaethalium Rostaf. with Dictydiaethalium plumbeum (Schumach.) Rostaf. ex Lister, Didymium melanospermum (Pers.) T.

Anahtar Sözcükler: Türkiye, Miksomiset, yeni kayıt Introduction Turkey is an ideal location to study Myxomycetes because it has natural and profuse vegetation and a wide range of macro- and micro-climates. The number of Myxomycete taxa known worldwide is about 1000 (Ergul & Oran, 2005). Sesli and Denchev (2005) made a compilation of Myxomycetes and Macromycetes in Turkey and 177 taxa of Myxomycetes were reported (Demirel et al., 2006), and later Yağız and Afyon (2007) reported 216 taxa of Myxomycetes. For this reason there is a great need for an increase in the frequency of taxonomical and mycofloristical studies. By the increase in the number of similar studies it will be possible to fill in the gap and it may cause an increase in new Myxomycetes taxa for Turkey. Materials and Methods The samples were collected from Manisa in 2006. The fructification of Myxomycetes was obtained using the moist chamber technique in the laboratory. Several
