MSC has over 3000 members and organizes a series of congresses and symposia, workshops, training courses and field excursions everyyear. MSC publishs one international journal, i.e. Mycology – an international journal on fungal biology and two Chinese journals Mycosystema and Journal of Fungal Research. A newsletter is also published twice every year to keep MSC members updated with fungal news.
