The type material in the David W. Mitchell myxomycete collection at the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew

A comprehensive analysis of the David W. Mitchell myxomycete collection at Kew reveals 58 critical type specimens, including holotypes, isotypes, paratypes, and other key materials. These represent 11 taxa authored or co-authored by Mitchell and 42 taxa from colleague exchanges, preserving essential nomenclature for myxomycete taxonomy. The study catalogs these specimens with detailed images, labels, origin data, and conservation status, while also compiling a list of Mitchell's nomenclatural proposals and publications. This work provides a foundational resource for myxomycete research, ensuring the integrity and accessibility of type material for future studies.
