Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Edible fungi is visible to the naked eye, and comprise fleshy fruit bodies with distinct aromas and flavors, as well as beneficial nutritional properties, and are used mostly in food and medicine. Edible fungi also contain abundant active substances, such as polysaccharides, phenols, and terpenoids, which have considerable pharmacological effects, making them valuable medicinal resources for humans.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on edible fungi. We invite researchers and mycologists to submit their original research, reviews, and communications that contribute to the body of knowledge on edible fungi. This Special Issue, titled “Research Progress on Edible Fungi”, will concentrate on edible fungal genetic diversity, signal transduction regulation, genetic manipulation, fermentation process, omics research, physiology, etc.
