Mycoscience publishes original research articles (full papers, short communications, and notes) and reviews on various aspects of fungi including yeasts and other organisms traditionally studied by mycologists. The research covered ranges from purely scientific interests such as systematics (taxonomy by traditional methods and systematics by molecular methods), evolution, phylogeny, morphology, ecology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, to such agricultural, medical, and industrial applications as pathology (human, animal, and plant), pharmaceuticals, food processing, and other biotechnologies. Coverage extends to new and improved applications of well-established mycological techniques and methods. The Editor-in-Chief is Yoshitaka Ono, Faculty of Education, Ibaraki University, Ibaraki, Japan. Mycoscience is the official English journal of the Mycological Society of Japan and is issued bimonthly.
