Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the Journal of Fungi is dedicated to showcasing fungal research conducted in Spain or by Spanish researchers. This Special Issue aims to spotlight the rich contributions of Spanish researchers to the global understanding of fungi and their multifaceted roles in ecosystems, health, and industry.

We invite submissions across a broad spectrum of mycological topics, including, but not limited to, the following:

  1. Fungal pathogenesis and disease control;
  2. Surveillance and antifungal susceptibility testing;
  3. Diagnostic and management of fungal infections;
  4. Fungal outbreaks;
  5. Pathogenic fungi and their impacts on human and animal health;
  6. Fungal biodiversity and systematics in Spanish ecosystems;
  7. Fungal ecology and its interactions with the environment;
  8. Molecular and genetic studies of fungi;
  9. The use of fungi in biotechnology and industrial applications.

This Special Issue offers a platform to highlight the exceptional work carried out by Spanish researchers and to showcase the unique fungal diversity found in Spain. We believe that this collection will not only contribute significantly to the field of mycology but also foster new collaborations and spark future research initiatives.

Dr. Ana Alastruey-Izquierdo
