The Myxomycetes of the Miami Valley, Ohio

"The Myxomycetes of the Miami Valley, Ohio" by A. P. (Andrew Price) Morgan is a late 19th-century scientific study focusing on slime molds in Ohio's Miami Valley. The text carefully catalogs more than a hundred different species found in the area, and compares the local samples to specimens gathered from other places far away. Morgan's research introduces myxomycetes, explaining their structure and how they are classified, also covering their unique qualities, like how they reproduce and the different shapes and forms that they have. Through sharing his methods and discoveries with the Cincinnati Society of Natural History, Morgan shows that he had a full and analytical way of looking at these interesting organisms.
