Myxomycetes in the Antarctic: A review

“…In Antarctica, although the phanerogamic flora is extremely limited, the bryoflora is rich and diverse, both in the continental and maritime islands. Mosses and liverworts grow directly on rocky outcrops, usually at sites above 100 m, but can spread to lower bare ground and become available for colonization by lichens and other organisms such as myxomycetes (Albuquerque et al 2012). According to Mundim et al (2021) On Elephant (Stinker Point) and Nelson (Rip Point) Islands, where D. nivale and T. varia were recorded, the human impact is minimal, with only a few small buildings sporadically occupied.…”
