Abstract


The paper presents an extended list of species of the genus Craterium, hitherto found in Poland.In the monograph on Polish slime moulds Krzemieniewska (1960) 3 species and 1 variety of that genus were mentioned. Lately, the following two new species have been recorded: Craterium concinnum Rex. and C. brunneum Nann.-Bremek. Craterium muscorum Ing, reported earlier under the name of Badhamia rubiginosa (Chevall) Rostaf. is also included in the present paper. All together, with Cratoium aureum (Schumach.) Rostaf. rarely occurring in Poland, and widespread C. minutum (Leers) Fr., C. leucocephalum (Pers.) Ditmar with its variety scyphoides (Cooke et Balf.) G. Lister, the number of taxa of the genus Craterium in Poland increased up to 7.
