Previous meetings - Christchurch, New Zealand, 2001

The Second International Meeting on Ecology, Physiology and Cultivation of Edible Mycorrhizal Mushrooms was held in Christchurch, New Zealand, in July 2001. Organizers were Ian Hall (New Zeeland), Wang Yun (China), Alessandra Zambonelli (Italy) and Eric Danell (Sweden). The proceedings are available via CD ROM.

This meeting was held in conjuction with the 3rd International Conference on Mycorrhizas in Adelaide.


Previous meetings - Uppsala, Sweden, 1998

The first international meeting on "Ecology, Physiology and Cultivation of Edible Mycorrhizal Mushrooms" was held at SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), Uppsala, Sweden, July 3-4, 1998.

The meeting gathered 81 participants from 30 countries.

Proceedings will only be published on the web. By clicking on the name of a participant, abstracts will be available. The meeting was a pre-conference session presented in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Mycorrhiza (ICOM2), 5-10 July 1998. The schedule was organized by Abdulmagid Alsheikh from Kuwait, Carlos Colinas from Spain, Eric Danell from Sweden, David Pilz from USA and Keith Williams from Canada.



Previous meetings - Berkeley, USA, 1996

At a workshop called "Ecology, physiology and fruit body formation of edible ectomycorrhizal fungi" which was a part of ICOM1 (1st International Conference on Mycorrhiza) in Berkeley, August 1996, Boletus, Cantharellus, Lactarius, Tricholoma and Tuber were treated during one afternoon. It was also decided to have a longer meeting in Uppsala in 1998. We also decided to make a directory of people interested in these genera.
