Editorial comment—volume 59 of Fungal Diversity  

出　　处：《Fungal Diversity》2013年第2期1-1,共1页真菌多样性（英文）

摘　　要：Volume 59 of Fungal Diversity is devoted to the myxomycetes(also called plasmodial slime molds or myxogastrids).Since their discovery,myxomycetes have been variously classified as plants,animals or fungi.Because they produce aerial spore-bearing structures that resemble those of certain fungi and also typically occur in some of the same types of ecological situations as fungi,myxomycetes have been traditionally studied by mycologists.Although recent molecular evidence has confirmed that they are amoebozoans(members of the supergroup Amoebozoa)and not fungi,myxomycetes still tend to be studied by individuals whose expertise is in mycology,and papers on the group typically appear in mycological journals.However,so far as the editor knows,the present volume represents the first time that a single issue of a major journal of mycology has been devoted exclusively to papers on myxomycetes.
