Field Mycology is a quarterly publication produced by the British Mycological Society, available as an open access online journal and in printed magazine format. It covers all aspects of fungal identification, recording, collection and conservation, catering to all levels of expertise.
Field Mycology focuses primarily on the wild fungal diversity of the British Isles, including the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey (Channel Islands). Reports and examples of the practice of field mycology from elsewhere may also feature, where they are of relevance and interest to the field mycology community. However, articles describing taxa which are new to science will only be considered for publication if their holotypes were collected within the British Isles.
Views expressed are not necessarily those of the Editorial Team or the British Mycological Society. The society is a registered charity (no. 276503).
The British Mycological Society is a registered charity open to all who are interested in supporting, promoting and learning about fungi.
Our Field Mycology journal has moved from being a member-only publication to this open-access platform to reach a wider audience and stimulate greater interest in fungi.
