Affordable sequencing technology has made it possible to determine the genome sequence of many organisms. The fungal kingdom has had the fortune of more than 100 genomes completed and will continue to grow. We hope this blog can highlight some of the interesting happenings and scientific progress that is being made as well as share our fascination with fungi.

Some photos from the site are from Jason Stajich’s and Nhu Nguyen‘s pictures of macrofungi in our Mycology Flickr Pool. Please join the pool if you are interested in contributing pictures of fungi.
