ABSTRACT = {Abstract: Fruiting bodies of three physaraceous Myxomycetes were found among others abundantly growing on a pile of decaying fallen leaves in spring and summer, 1993 at a corner of NTU campus. They all are plasmodiocarpous in form, have distinctly double peridium, smooth outer surface of outer peridium , and dense capillilium consisting of large rounded lime nodes and short hyaline threads. Yet they can be separated from each other by the colour of outer peridium and spore makings. Physarum aeneum R.E Fries and P.bogoriense Racib. are similar in spores but easily recognized by the colour of outer peridium. Physarum aeneum has beige to bronze outer peridium, while P. bogoriense is paler, browbish grey. P.echinosporum A. Lister is distinct by the white, eggshell-like outer peridium and the longly echinulate spores. In this paper, the plasmodium of P.echinosporum, white in color, is reported for the first time. All of the above three species of palsmodiocarpous Physarum are new to Taiwan. Specimens collected are deposited in the Mycology Herbarium of the Botany Department, NTU, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.},
