Abstract
Some species belonging to the Bromeliaceae family are called tank-bromeliads, due to the arrangement of its leave in rosettes information about the presence of myxomycetes on Bromeliaceae is scarce, we evaluated the availability and occupation of microhabitats for these organisms offered by bromeliads in fragments of Atlantic Forest located in the Pernambuco Endemism Center. Sampling of sporocarps and substrates for cultivation in moist chambers was carried out at the Janga Ecological Reserve (Paulista Municipality), Tapacura Ecological Station (Sao Lourenco da Mata Municipality) and Mata do Estado (Sao Vicente Ferrer Municipality), between 2007 and 2008. Ten species were present in the dead parts of representatives of Bromelioideae and Tillandsioideae: Arcyria cinerea , Craterium leucocephalum , C. paraguayense , Cribraria intricata , Diachea silvaepluvialis , Hemitrichia serpula , Physarum compressum , P. nucleatum , Stemonitis fusca and Trichia . All taxa are newly reported for the sites studied, including rare species in Brazil, such as D. silvaepluvialis . The microhabitat studied had high taxonomic diversity, and the species recorded in it were rare or occasional.
