Four sample series consisting of 101 small samples (° wet wt = 0.2 g) of forest soil were examined for the presence of cellular slime molds. Although each sample series contained 5 cellular slime mold species, the distribution of species among the samples indicates that on a microlevel, 5, 4, or even 3 species seem seldom to co—occur. The results also demonstrate the extreme patchiness or cellular slime mold distribution in nature.
