Fungal Biology Reviews

Aims & Scope

Fungal Biology Reviews is an international reviews journal, owned by the British Mycological Society.

Its objective is to provide a forum for high quality review articles within fungal biology.

It covers all fields of fungal biology, whether fundamental or applied, including fungal diversity, ecology, evolution, physiology and ecophysiology, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, cell biology, interactions (symbiosis, pathogenesis etc), environmental aspects, biotechnology and taxonomy.

It considers aspects of all organisms historically or recently recognized as fungi, including lichen-fungi, microsporidia, oomycetes, slime moulds, stramenopiles, and yeasts.
