Acta Mycologica is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles as well as review articles, short communications, and checklists in all areas of mycology, including fungus-like organisms (slime moulds, oomycetes, etc.), with respect to various ecosystems. Specifically, the journal covers: ecology, taxonomy, conservation, and systematics of fungi,fungal physiology, biochemistry, molecular genetics,fungus–plant (pathogens, mycorrhizas, lichens, endophytes), fungus–animal, and fungus–microbe interactions,applied aspects of mycology in forestry, agriculture, and biotechnology,global and local distribution of fungi (s. l.) and their biogeography.ethnomycologyconcept papers and discussions.
