Many myxomycetes are cosmopolitan, free-living, multicellular, or plasmodial phagotrophic eukaryotes. The substrate, humidity, and temperature are the main factors that ensure myxomycete presence in an area. They are widespread on rotting logs, dead leaves, live bark, forest floor litter, animal manure, and some other organic matter, usually in moist forests in temperate regions. This research was carried out on samples such as tree bark, leaves, and rotten wood materials collected from field studies conducted in Kaz Mountains-Ayazma Recreation Area (Bayramiç-Çanakkale) between 2018-2019. "Moisture Chamber Technique" was applied to the collected materials and myxomycete sporophores were trying to be developed. In addition, samples of myxomycetes that develop and grow in their natural habitats were collected. As a result of field and laboratory studies, ten myxomycete taxa belonging to six families and eight genera were identified. The species/genus Ratio, which will show the richness of myxomycete biodiversity in our study area, was calculated as 1.43. When evaluated in terms of species diversity, this number is not very low (H'= 2.1972). However, the same is not the case when myxomycete record is evaluated.
