Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on fungal taxonomy, systematics, and ecology. Articles describe new fungal species from various geographic regions, including Japan, Mexico, and China. Studies also investigate fungal genetics, evolution, and interactions with hosts and environments, such as plant-parasitic fungi, ectomycorrhizal fungi, and myxomycetes in forest ecosystems. Additionally, research explores fungal metabolites and their applications, like anti-fungal compounds and yeasts in the sake industry.
