0100,0100,0100Times New RomanDear Dr. Johnsson, Mycological Progress, the international journal of fungal sciences, is now ready to start with Volume 1(1) which will be published in February 2002. Manuscripts for this issue should be submitted by the end of June 2001 at the latest. Further issues are scheduled for May, August and November of 2002. The Editor-in-Chief and the German Mycological Society will be composing attractive issues with articles in all fields of mycological science. Mycological Progress generally accepts contributions toFF00,0000,0000 systematics, taxonomy,0100,0100,0100 FF00,0000,0000mycodiversity, evolution, ecology, symbiosis 0100,0100,0100(lichens, mycorrhizae, animals)FF00,0000,0000,0100,0100,0100 FF00,0000,0000pathology0100,0100,0100 (pathogens of plants, animals, humans), FF00,0000,0000cell biology, function, physiology,0100,0100,0100 FF00,0000,0000biotechnology0100,0100,0100 and FF00,0000,0000applied mycology0100,0100,0100.

Review articles are also welcome, and contributions on novel methods and trends in mycology are always appreciated. Whether Mycological Progress becomes a noteworthy and a generally accepted publication organ of mycology is dependent upon the contributing authors and whether they submit timely manuscripts of immediate mycological interest. We therefore encourage all mycologists throughout the world to use Mycological Progress as a discussion forum for mycological experts and to regard Mycological Progress as one of the most important mycological journals on their book-shelf. The rather low price of Mycological Progress, the short publication time, and a strict review system will be contributing factors to world wide distribution of this international journal of fungal sciences. We respectfully invite you to submit manuscripts for Volume 1(1) and for further issues, scheduled for May, August, and November a year. Please ask also your young researchers, co-workers and colleagues whether they could contribute to Mycological Progress. `Instructions to Authors' are published in the home page of Mycological Progress: { HYPERLINK http://www.botanik.biologie.uni-muenchen.de/botsyst/mycpro.html }0000,0000,FF00http://www.botanik.biologie.uni-muenchen.de/botsyst/mycpro.html0100,0100,0100 and { HYPERLINK http://www.mycology.net/index.cfm }0000,0000,FF00http://www.mycology.net/index.cfm0100,0100,0100 << WingdingsàTimes New Roman Journals WingdingsàTimes New Roman Myc Progress > FF00,6600,0000Visit our homepages from time to time.
