Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fungi kingdom has approximately 140,000 species and is the one of the biggest eukaryotic kingdoms in terms of known species abundance and diversity. This kingdom includes yeasts, rusts, smuts, mildews, molds, and mushrooms. The arrival of molecular biology has helped toward fungal species delimitation and identification. Despite the prevalence of DNA-based fungal taxonomy, other approaches can also be an important strategy to achieve a more in-depth understanding of the true scale of fungal diversity, something which is currently lacking.
In the case of fungi, due to the assortment of different methodologies in fungal diversity, the best method will depend on the group studied and on the researcher.
Thus, this Special Issue will provide an opportunity to highlight new research on different facets of diversity, such as, genetic, evolutional, metabolic, biogeographical, ecological, or conservation in taxa or communities. We encourage authors to contribute articles, reviews, or short communications that use holistic (integrative) approaches where non-molecular and molecular methods are used together to reveal fungal diversity.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diversity is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
