MycoAsia is an international online open-access peer-reviewed journal of modern mycology.

Our vision: MycoAsia is a new mycology journal that aims to promote the sharing of knowledge/ information/ developments amongst the mycology research community in Asia with a global perspective by establishing an open-access journal at no cost to authors.

Scope of the journal: MycoAsia publishes original research articles on all major mycological aspects including, but not limited to, diversity, ecology, phylogeny and taxonomy of fungi.

MycoAsia invites original manuscripts on the discovery, cultivation, characterization, description, identification, classification, metabolites and nomenclature of fungi, preferably from (under-explored) terrestrial, aquatic and atmospheric habitats of Asian countries. The journal also welcomes manuscripts on lichens.

Rapid publication: Research articles will be published online as soon as they are accepted and ready for publication.
