Special Issue on Mushroom

Mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically of the order Agaricales in the phylum Basidiomycota but also of some other groups. The hyphae spread throughout the soil and absorb food. In the autumn the hyphae mass together to form a fruiting body and then grows above soil and produces spores.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring mushroom. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Species of mushroom
• Edible mushroom
• Poisonous mushroom
• Psychoactive mushroom
• Macroscopic structure and microscopic features
• Mushroom growing, reproduction and cultivation
• The nutritional value of mushroom
• Mushroom extracts and medicinal properties

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Mushroom” should be chosen during your submission.
