Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a forthcoming Special Issue of Diversity focused on macroscopic fungi, which are among the most fascinating, attractive and threatened mushrooms in the world.
With many species widely distributed all around the world, the macro fungi are also subjected to extinctions and habitat availability problems. The species are also poorly known, with many of them restricted to only the original description/illustration and with no other studies done to date. The ongoing habitat loss and the need for more detailed studies on their biology and ecology encourage this Special Issue.
Due to their attractiveness and nutritional importance, some species are also intensively cultivated as foods or for medical use. Much more research is needed on macromycetes, especially including aspects such as population dynamics, the potential impacts of introduced species, new edible species and taxonomy studies involving molecular analysis.
This Special Issue on macroscopic fungi is an exciting opportunity to combine and synthesize all knowledge being generated in those fields mentioned above, and in other related fields. Therefore, Diversity’s team kindly invites you to submit a manuscript focused on any of the above topics, as well as those addressing broader implications. We encourage authors to submit specific case studies to large-scale and/or multi-specific studies, synthesis works and reviews. If you are interested in this opportunity or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
