Description: | Content of collection: Myxomycetes and Oomycota.
The Slime and Water Mould Collection consists of approximately 70 Myxomycetes and 400 specimens of Peronospora. The slime moulds mainly belong to Paul Sydow's 1880s 'Mycotheca Marchica' collection, as do many of the Peronospora specimens. Sydow's collection was predominantly collected in Berlin so these slime moulds may have been collected in Germany. James William Helenus Trail collected the majority of the other Peronospora specimens in the 1880s around Aberdeen. Amongst the many Peronospora species are Peronospora corydalis, Peronospora gangliformis, Peronospora Viciae and Peronospora Grisea. There is also a Peronospora valerianae type collected by Trail from Loch Awe in 1888, held in a slide. | Source: | University of Aberdeen | Address: | King's College,
