Myxomycetes,
commonly known as plasmodial slime molds, represent a unique group of
fungus-like protists that play an important role in nutrient cycling and
decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems. The present study was conducted to
investigate the biodiversity, habitat preference, and distribution of
myxomycetes in the Alibag region of Raigad District, Maharashtra, India. Alibag
is a coastal town situated at 18° 38' 29" N latitude and 72° 52' 20"
E longitude, on the west coast of India around 300 km south of Mumbai. The
average elevation is 0 meters (0 feet). Alibag being a coastal town with
temperature range (29 C- 33 C) with average rainfall 2402 mm provide suitable
conditions for the occurrence of myxomycetes.
