Comatricha filamentosa Meyl., Bull. Soc.

Lado, Carlos & Basanta, Diana Wrigley De, 2024, The type material in the David W. Mitchell myxomycete collection at the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, Phytotaxa 649 (2), pp. 135-158 : 142

Comatricha filamentosa Meyl., Bull. Soc. Vaud. Sci. Nat. 53:456 (1921)

Isolectotypus: SWITZERLAND. Canton Vaud, Les Freisettes, Chasseron, 1380 m, on decayed wood, Oct 1920, leg. C. Meylan, DWM 2274 [one box, K-M001435098], ( Fig. 2G ).

Notes. The Mitchell material is a duplicate of the lectotype chosen by Kowalski (1975: 476) from the Meylan collection in LAU (Myxo 010). Singer et al. (2005: 493) did not find the lectotype in LAU and designated a new lectotype and isolectotype from that herbarium. However, we have seen Kowalski’s lectotype in LAU ( Fig. 2H ) and so the one selected by Singer et al. (2005) is redundant.
