Mycoscience

Aims & Scope

Mycoscience is the official English-language journal of the Mycological Society of Japan and is issued bimonthly.

Mycoscience publishes original research articles and reviews on various topics related to fungi including yeasts and other organisms that have traditionally been studied by mycologists.

The research areas covered by Mycoscience extend from such purely scientific fields as systematics, evolution, phylogeny, morphology, ecology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, to agricultural, medical, and industrial applications.

New and improved applications of well-established mycological techniques and methods are also covered.
