Fungal Diversity and Ecology in Extreme Environments, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Fungi are one of the most adapted eucaryotic organisms on our planet. We can find them on all surfaces of Earth, from the bottom of the deep sea to the stratosphere, Polar regions to deserts, or acidic and alkaline waters. Their diversity in these environments is still unknown; however, this research field has recorded and updated several new findings because these environments occupy massive areas on Earth.

In this Special Issue, we focused on and discussed fungal diversity (including taxonomical and phylogenic results) and ecological research (including physiological and biochemical findings) relating various extreme environments (extreme conditions such as temperature, pH, humidity and accessibility to different energy sources or under high pressure). We welcome your consideration to submit a manuscript, including applied research results.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Fungi is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
