IMC9: The Biology of Fungi
Fungal biology has never been as important as it is today and this is undoubtedly the most exciting time to be studying the subject. The International Mycological Congress represents the greatest scientific forum to provide an up-to-date perspective of mycology in all its guises. The 9th International Mycological Congress (IMC9: the Biology of Fungi) will be hosted by the British Mycological Society in 2010 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
