Mycologia Iranica is the first specialized mycology journal in Iran, published twice a year by the Iranian Mycological Society (IrMS). Mycologia Iranica is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of fungi in all their diversity. Covering mycology in its broadest sense, the journal publishes original research, reviews, and perspectives on fungal taxonomy, ecology, physiology, genetics, biotechnology, plant, animal, and human pathogens and their roles in natural and human-influenced environments.
Our mission is to advance the understanding of fungi by providing a platform for high-quality scientific contributions from researchers worldwide. Whether exploring the ecological significance of fungi, their applications in medicine and industry, or their evolutionary history, we hope Mycologia Iranica serves as a significant resource for mycologists, biologists, ecologists, and interdisciplinary scientists.
By fostering collaboration and innovation in mycology, we aim to support the growing global interest in fungi and their impact on ecosystems and society.
The journal aims to play a significant role in advancing mycological knowledge at both national and international levels by rapidly and accurately publishing articles from Iranian and international authors.
Papers appropriate for the journal are:
(1) Original articles: Reporting original research that makes a significant contribution to the field of mycology.
(2) Short articles: The editorial board reserves the right to publish research articles with limited findings and printed pages of approximately 5-6 pages as short articles. The short article format should be similar to regular articles, except that no secondary headings are used.
(3) Short reports: Reports concerning genera and species, new hosts, and similar subjects with limited findings and identification procedures published as short reports. Short reports must not exceed 3 manuscript pages (plus 1 table or 1 illustration).
(4) Review articles: substantial and in-depth discussions on topics of interest to a wide range of mycologists.
(5) Data Analysis and Checklist: In this type of article researchers with the ability to analyze or collect a set of data available in databases, and papers in the fields of taxonomy, ecology, biology, host range, and related areas can prepare an article and submit it to the journal for review.
(6) In addition to the above-mentioned article types, the following types of papers will be considered for publication in Mycologia Iranica as Short communications.
-New Methods, Insights, and Viewpoints: This is a new section of our journal that highlights innovative approaches and fresh perspectives in the field of Mycology. This section aims to introduce new techniques with the shortest possible publication time, making them readily available to researchers. Additionally, it presents perspectives that stimulate or challenge intellectual discourse.
All manuscripts are subject to double-blind peer-review and copy editing to determine their originality and scientific value. Submitted manuscripts are peer-reviewed by the members of the Editorial Board or other experts introduced by the Editorial Board or Editor-in-Chief.
