Abstract
Corticolous myxomycetes are a distinct ecological group consisting of species typically associated with the outer bark surface of living trees. The current study aimed to characterize the community structure of corticolous myxomycetes and their associated trees, analyzing the influence of geographic distance, bark pH, and tree diameter on myxomycete assemblages in a Neotropical Seasonal Dry Tropical Forest (SDTF) in Brazil. The myxomycete community composition significantly varied with the increase of the geographic distance between the studied plots, and tree bark pH was able to explain the species composition exclusively recorded in one of the three transects.
