Building a Comprehensive List of Fungi Publications (Academic and Popular Science)
On this page, I am continually building and updating a comprehensive list of publications related to fungi, encompassing both academic research and popular science. I invest significant effort in researching and verifying these resources to ensure their accuracy and relevance. If you know of any publications that aren’t currently included, I would greatly appreciate your input. Please feel free to reach out, and I will gladly evaluate and consider adding them to the list. Your contributions are invaluable in making this collection even more complete.

This list includes a diverse range of publications, covering topics from fundamental fungal biology to the fascinating roles fungi play in ecosystems and everyday applications.
Academic Journals
Fungal Biology Published by the British Mycological Society, this journal covers all aspects of fungal biology, including mycology, ecology, genetics, and physiology.
Mycologia One of the oldest and most respected journals in the field, publishes recent international research in mycology, focusing on the biology of fungi and emphasizing subjects such as molecular biology and plant pathology.
Fungal Diversity This journal focuses on the diversity, ecology, and systematics of fungi, providing high-quality articles on fungal biodiversity and conservation.
Studies in Mycology A peer-reviewed journal that primarily publishes high-impact research papers and comprehensive monographs of filamentous fungi and yeasts, and special topical issues related to all fields of mycology, biotechnology, ecology, molecular biology, pathology and systematics.
Fungal Ecology publishes investigations into all aspects of fungal ecology, focuses on the interactions between fungi and their environment (population dynamics; adaptation; evolution; role in ecosystem functioning, nutrient cycling, decomposition, carbon allocation; ecophysiology…).
Mycoscience This international journal publishes research on the taxonomy, molecular biology, physiology, and ecological roles of fungi. From Transferred to the Mycological Society of Japan as of 2021
Medical Mycology is dedicated to the study of fungi that are pathogenic to humans and animals, including aspects of diagnosis, treatment, and epidemiology.
Mycological Progress publishes articles on fungal biology with a focus on evolution, genetics, and systematics. It is the official journal of the German Mycological Society.
Fungal Genetics and Biology specializes in the genetics and molecular biology of fungi, featuring research on topics like gene regulation, metabolic pathways, and fungal genomics.
IMA Fungus is published by the International Mycological Association, focuses on systematics, biodiversity, and all aspects of fungal biology, with an emphasis on high-quality research contributions.
Mycoses focuses on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, prophylaxis and epidemiology of fungal infectious diseases in humans as well, as on the biology of pathogenic fungi.
Mycorrhiza covers research into mycorrhizas, including molecular biology of the plants and fungi, fungal systematics, development and structure of mycorrhizas, and effects on plant physiology, productivity, reproduction and disease resistance.
Journal of Fungi is an open-access journal that covers all areas of mycology, including medical, agricultural, ecological, and environmental mycology. The Medical Mycological Society of the Americas (MMSA) and the Spanish Phytopathological Society (SEF) are affiliated with the Journal of Fungi.
Fungal Biology Reviews publishes review articles on various aspects of fungal biology, from molecular biology to ecology and evolution. It is an international journal published by the British Mycological Society, providing a comprehensive platform for high-quality scientific review articles aiming to cover all aspects of fungal biology.
Applied and Environmental Microbiology While not exclusively a mycology journal, it frequently includes articles on the role of fungi in various environments and applications.
Frontiers in Fungal Biology is an open-access journal that covers various aspects of fungal research, from cellular biology to ecology. It is an innovative journal that brings together different fields of mycology – agricultural, medical and applied industrial – to decipher the interactions of fungi, aiming to improve human, animal and plant lives.
Mycopathologia is an international, peer-reviewed journal focused on important developments concerning medically important fungi and fungal diseases.
Popular Journals/Magazines
Here is a list of popular science magazines and media outlets that frequently feature articles related to fungi, mycology, and their impact on the environment, culture, and industry.
Fungi Magazine is a dedicated popular science magazine focusing entirely on mushrooms and other fungi. It covers a wide range of topics, including mushroom hunting, identification, cultivation, and the role of fungi in various ecosystems. It explores the world of mycology from many different angles, with regular features ranging from toxicology to medicinal mushrooms, from photography to book reviews. Fungi informs and entertains everyone from beginner to professional mycologist.
The Mycophile is published by the North American Mycological Association, The Mycophile includes popular articles about fungi, mushroom hunting, culinary uses, and conservation.
Mushroom: The Journal of Wild Mushrooming A long-running publication that explores the identification, ecology, and cultural significance of wild mushrooms, making it accessible and informative for amateur mycologists and enthusiasts.
Field Mycology is a quarterly publication (by BMS) covering topics of interest to experienced field mycologists.
