Fungal Diversity is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing high-quality research across all major disciplines of mycology, with a particular focus on fungal biodiversity, taxonomy, systematics, and evolutionary biology. The journal publishes original research articles and authoritative reviews that address fundamental questions in fungal morphology, genetics, development, phylogeny, ecology, and biogeography across diverse ecosystems worldwide .

By integrating classical mycology with molecular phylogenetics, genomics, ecology, and bioinformatics, Fungal Diversity provides a comprehensive platform for understanding fungal diversity and evolution from genes to ecosystems. The journal particularly encourages rigorous, integrative, and technology-driven approaches: including multi-gene and phylogenomic analyses, high-throughput sequencing, and artificial intelligence–assisted methods that enhance taxonomic resolution and evolutionary inference, and that contribute to a deeper understanding of fungal roles in natural and managed environments, with implications for biodiversity conservation, agriculture, forestry, and biotechnology.

Scope of the Journal
Fungal Diversity  welcomes high-quality original research and reviews in (but not limited to) the following areas:
1.Fundamental Fungal Biology – Physiology, development, cell biology, and functional genomics of fungi.
2.Fungus–Host Interactions and Symbioses – Interactions between fungi and plants, animals, and other organisms, including symbiotic, pathogenic, and endophytic relationships.
3.Ecology and Ecosystem Functions – roles of plants and fungi in community dynamics, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem resilience.
4.Evolution, Biodiversity, and Systematics – Taxonomy, phylogeny, phylogenomics, biogeography, and population biology of fungi.
5.Genetics, Molecular Breeding, and Genome Engineering – Molecular genetics, genome editing, and functional studies in fungi and fungus-associated systems.
6.Biotechnology and Applied Mycology – Fungal applications in fermentation, natural and bioactive compounds, agriculture, forestry, medicine, environmental remediation, and sustainable bio-based manufacturing.
7.Genomics and Multi-Omics Integration – Integrative studies employing genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics to elucidate fungal biology, evolution, and ecological function.
8.Innovative Analytical and Computational Approaches – Bioinformatics, data integration, modeling, high-throughput analyses, and artificial intelligence–based methods that enhance the study of fungal diversity, systematics, and function.
