Abstract :Myxomycetes samples were collected from 10 different areas of South Amanos Mountains during 2013-2017. The samples were gathered from leaves, barks, litterfalls, decayed or unspoiled herbal materials. It was meant to try to develop myxomycetes sporophores by applying moist chamber culture to collected samples. In addition, myxomycetes, which grew up in their natural environment were obtained. As a result of field and laboratory studies 48 taxa belonging to 10 families and 18 genera were identified and added to Turkey myxobiota. Totally at 304 substrates 122 samples obtained, 7 myxomycetes were collected only from fields, 115 samples were developed in moist chamber culture in the laboratory.Keywords : Myxomycetes, Diversity, Chorology, South Amanos Mountains – Hatay Turkey
