After the first report of myxomycetes from Thailand in 1902, there were only a few papers dealing specifically with these organisms over the following 85 years. In 2004, intensive ecological studies of myxomycetes began at the Mushroom Research Centre north of Chiang Mai. These studies, which considered specimens that had fruited under natural conditions in the field as well as those appearing in moist chamber cultures prepared with various types of dead plant material, yielded numerous new records for Thailand. At least 132 species of myxomycetes in 30 genera are now known to occur in the country. This total includes 23 species not previously reported, including several examples known from only a few other localities worldwide. An annotated checklist based on all published and unpublished records is provided herein.
