Abstract
Although studies of myxomycetes (plasmodial slime moulds) in the Asia Pacific region have been remarkable for the past years, studies about myxomycetes assemblages in association with homogenous vegetation are relatively few. In an effort to investigate further about myxomycetes assemblages in monotypic vegetation, the present study was carried out in three different agricultural plantations (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze., Dimocarpus longan Lour., Psidium guajava L.). Ninety percent (90%) of the moist chamber cultures gave a total of 165 records (107 determinable fruiting bodies and 58 plasmodial records). From these records, 20 myxomycetes morphospecies composed of 17 clear-cut species and three varieties of the species Arcyria cinerea were recorded. The occasionally reported myxomycetes species Physarum tenerum in other Southeast Asian countries seems to be abundantly occurring for the agricultural litters in Vietnam. This study noted that agricultural leaf litter substrates with leathery leaf texture can serve as spore traps for myxomycetes that are dispersing in the environment. Hence, agricultural litters are good microhabitat for many known cosmopolitan myxomycetes. This is the first report of myxomycetes assemblages associated with Camellia sinensis, Dimocarpus longan and Psidium guajava leaf litters.
