Myxomycetes in Western Australia

Slime moulds (Myxomycetes) have surely been lumbered with the most unappealing of names for a taxonomic group. But to those who appreciate them, slime moulds are a fascinating and attractive group.

At our July General Meeting, our invited guest Karina Knight will share the beauty and wonders of these tiny organisms and how Western Australia became a hotspot of studies in slime moulds. Karina is a Research Associate based at the Western Australian Herbarium and undertakes taxonomic research into Western Australian slime moulds.

As usual, our meeting will be on the second Tuesday of the month – 14 June – at the Subiaco Community Centre.

Doors open at 7.45 pm for an 8 pm start. A $3 donation gets you entry into the night’s door prize. All are welcome.
