Mycosphere is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing original research articles, reviews, monographs and taxonomic notes on fungi and fungus-like organisms . We emphasize robust taxonomy supported by morphology and phylogenetics, ecological insights, discovery of novel lineages and high-quality datasets that advance fungal systematics and biodiversity science. Scope includes : fungal taxonomy and systematics; biodiversity and biogeography; ecology and symbioses; plant–fungal interactions; endophytes and pathogens; environmental mycology and methodological papers relevant to fungal research.
