Popis: We surveyed and reported herein the assemblages and diversity of myxomycetes along forest habitats of Casaroro and Pulangbato Falls in Valencia, Negros Oriental, Philippines. Various plant-based substrates were collected randomly at three sampling points in each study area and used to prepare moist chamber cultures. From the 480 moist chambers prepared in this study, 381 were positive for myxomycetes and resulted in the identification of 34 species belonging to 15 genera. The forest areas leading to Casaroro Falls had higher taxonomic diversity than those of Pulangbato Falls. The study areas shared high similarity in species composition with 20 species in common. This study contributes to the species of myxomycetes reported in Negros Island, the third largest island in the Philippine archipelago.
