Mycology plays a vital role in the basic as well as applied field of studies such as fermentation, ecology, pathogenesis, antibiotic production, toxicities, mushroom and mycorrhizal technology. The past six decades have witnessed phenomenal progress in mycology encompassing conceptual changes, scientific and technological advances. Recognition of fungal diversity and its significance for meaningful utilization for discovery of novel biomolecules including drugs and industrial enzymes has gained considerable momentum. In near future, mycologists have to play a pivotal role in identification of novel germplasm resource pools, understanding product manufacture in relation to mold morphogenesis and developing innovative techniques.
At this point of time when the environmentalists are voicing out their concern at the dwindling biodiversity, this conference will provide a platform for the renowned and budding mycologists throughout the country. Increasing involvement of various mycologists as a experts in the multidisciplinary teams would be certainly worthwhile and such type of specialized conference will definitely boost the young scientists of India.
