International in coverage, Mycologia presents recent advances in mycology, emphasizing all aspects of the biology of Fungi and fungus-like organisms, including Lichens, Oomycetes and Slime Molds. The Journal emphasizes subjects including applied biology, biochemistry, cell biology, development, ecology, evolution, genetics, genomics, molecular biology, morphology, new techniques, animal or plant pathology, phylogenetics, physiology, aspects of secondary metabolism, systematics, and ultrastructure. In addition to research articles, reviews and short notes, Mycologia also includes invited papers based on presentations from the Annual Conference of the Mycological Society of America, such as Karling Lectures or Presidential Addresses.

Scientists, regulators and workers in the agriculture, biodiversity, biotechnology, medical and pharmaceutical sectors around the world benefit from the research published in Mycologia . The research can be used to further educational research programs, inform quarantine decisions, and may also be applied to field operations, which are continuously changing and expanding based upon the peer reviewed research conducted and published in the journal.

Peer Review Policy: All submitted manuscripts are subjects to an initial appraisal by a panel of Executive Editors, and if found suitable for further consideration, are assigned to Associate Editors who arrange peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via Editorial Manager.

Mycologia and Taylor and Francis encourage the submission of unpublished manuscripts to bioRxiv, following the policies and procedures of administrators of that site. Authors are responsible for all of their own interaction with this site, including the submission of their manuscripts and associated meta-data and ensuring that this archiving is consistent with the policies of their own employers. We discourage authors of articles that include formal nomenclatural acts from pre-publishing their data before the official publication of the formal version of record, i.e. the validating publication.
