Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although 30 years have passed since the publication of the first national and regional checklists and red lists, knowledge about fungi is still fragmentary. Furthermore, there is a clear knowledge gap between northern and Mediterranean countries, as well as North African countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
This Special Issue aims to produce data on the distribution and ecology of fungi and conservation strategies to provide an up-to-date picture not only for researchers but also for ordinary citizens who are increasingly involved in the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity. This Special Issue also provides an incentive for the implementation of studies on the systematics and taxonomy of fungi, a field of research that must be promoted by new generations of researchers.
