� The Mycological Society of China 2011 Mycology in China The Mycological Society of China (MSC), is an academic organization devoted to the research and extension of mycology in China. MSC, formerly a division of the Botanical Society of China (BSC) (1980-1992), became an independent society in May 1993. Currently there are 12 professional committees, 6 working committees and nearly 3,000 Chinese and international members. MSC is a sustainable member of the International Mycological Association and Asian Mycological Association. PROFESSIONAL COMMITTEES 1. Division of fungal diversity and systematic mycology 2. Division of plant pathogenic fungus 3. Division of entomogenous fungus 4. Division of medical mycology 5. Division of edible fungi 6. Division of pharmaceutical fungi 7. Division of industrial fungi 8. Division of myxomycetes 9. Division of lichenology 10. Division of mycorrhiza and endophytic fungi 11. Division of fungal chemistry 12. Division of fungal genetics and molecular biology MSC focuses on the development of fungal science in China and international community and aims to provide a platform to meet the needs of a demanding and growing field, and to serve and engage dialogue between Chinese mycologists and the international community. To publish
journals and organize international conferences, national annual meetings, various symposia and workshops are the main tasks of the society. Highlights of 2011 � The Tenth China-Korea Joint Symposium was held at Shandong Agricultural University, Tai’an city on 22-25 April, 2011. Fifteen representatives from Korea and 60 representatives from China attended this symposium. Fourteen speeches covering fungal diversity, phylogeny and evolution, edible and medicinal fungi and other aspects were reported on the meeting. � The tenth mycological symposium of cross-strait sponsored by Mycological Society of China and Mycological Society of Taiwan, was held at Wuhan Agriculture University on 15-18 July, 2011. Sixteen members of Mycological Society of Taiwan attended this symposium. Fifty representatives presented their latest research outcomes. To enhance the exchange and co- operation between mycologists from Cross-Taiwan Straits and facilitate the development in mycology, the joint symposium has been run every two years since 1993 in mainland or Taiwan respectively. � The 2011 MSC annual meeting was held in Guangzhou on 15-17 August. More than 400 members of MSC participated this annual meeting. There are 150 presentations in 11 sections. These reports exhibited the latest research results on the followed aspects: fungal diversity and systematics, plant pathology, medical mycology, edible mushroom, pharmaceutical fungi, industrial fungi, myxomycete, mycorrhiza and endophytic fungi, fungal chemistry, fungal genetics and molecular biology. Postgraduate student awards were given to six student presentations. � China’s Fungal Genome Initiative (CFGI) proposed by the MSC are now investing great efforts for fungal genomics. More than 60 species of plant, insect and nematode pathogens as well as the mushrooms and mycorrhizal fungi have been or are being sequenced. To incorporate the joint efforts, the first CFGI Symposium was successfully held in Shanghai on September 20-22, 2009. The studies on fungal genomics have been extensively advanced for the past two years. To continue promoting fungal genomics studies in China, the second CFGI symposium was organized by MSC and Yunnan University on October 23-25, 2011. Following the invited talks, a workshop was held for sharing the techniques/methods for genomic data analysis.
