First data on Myxomycetes of the Bastak Nature Reserve (Jewish Autonomous Region, Russia)

The article presents the first data on the species diversity of myxomycetes in the Jewish Autonomous Region, the only region of the Far Eastern Federal District lacking any such data to date. In the summer of 2022, field studies were conducted in the Bastak Nature Reserve, where myxomycete sporocarps and fragments of plant substrates for moist chamber cultures were collected. As a result, 104 species were identified, of which two were described as new to science, Diderma ussuriense and Licea conica, and confirmed with additional findings in the Primorye Territory. Furthermore, a myxomycete specimen with unique morphology was discovered, which we preliminarily classified as Listerella sp.
