Myxomycetes
Photos by Whitey Hitchcock, Ph.D.

    I have recently become interested in myxomycetes. The following pictures are from specimens that I have collected and they are in my herbarium. If you think one is misidentified, e-mail me drwhitey@comcast.net. The primary goal for this page is to simply share with my friends and students my venture into another area of nature in my quest to become a naturalist by the time my life ends. It is also a chance to experiment with digital camera technology through a microscope.
