About this research topic
Forest Systems presents a special issue focused on the knowledge of biology, ecology, taxonomy, social sciences, products, and services related to edible ectomycorrhizal fungi. These fungi, found in native and cultivated forests, are nutritious food sources with great potential as productive resources and for inclusion in sustainable recreational activities.
This issue explores the numerous benefits these fascinating fungi offer to both the natural world and human societies. The topics covered are diverse and enriching, including: biodiversity, evolution, taxonomy and distribution, genetics and genomics, ecology and physiology, cultural and economic significance, traditional knowledge, climate change, conservation and sustainability, management and cultivation, habitats, productivity and mycosilviculture, truffle cultivation, and novel species cultivation, biotechnology, bioactive compounds, food security and health, mycotourism, and mycogastronomy.
Through the work of experts from various countries and continents, this special issue will showcase the latest advances and perspectives related to these resources, providing new insights for research, resource management and economic and social development.
Do not miss the opportunity to join us in this special issue from Forest Systems!
