Mycological Research
Published by Elsevier on behalf of The British Mycological Society
ANNOUNCEMENT: This journal will continue as Fungal Biology as of January 2010
Mycological Research is the international research journal of the British Mycological Society. It publishes original contributions in all fields of basic and applied research involving fungi and fungus-like organisms (including filamentous fungi, yeasts, lichen fungi, oomycetes, and slime moulds). These fields include biochemistry, biodeterioration, biotechnology, cell biology, developmental biology, disease control, ecology, environment, evolution, fungal physiology, genetics, genomics, geomycology, insect pathology, medical mycology, molecular genetics, mutualistic interactions, physiology, plant pathology, secondary metabolites, taxonomy and systematics, and techniques. Topical review articles, News items, and Book reviews will also be considered. Priority is given to contributions likely to be of interest to a wide international audience.
