The study documents finds of four rare myxomycete species: Tubifera dimorphotheca is reported for the first time from Russia and North Asia, Physarum auripigmentum from Siberia, Cribraria macrostipitata from Eastern Siberia, and Arcyria globosa from Western Siberia. The morphology of representative specimens of C. macrostipitata and P. auripigmentum was examined for the first time using scanning electron microscopy, and micrographs with relevant details of sporocarps and spores obtained for all four species are published. Additionally, these species are described and compared with morphologically similar species in the paper.
