Mycopathologia, founded in 1938, is an international journal devoted to the study of the role of fungi in disease and biodeterioration. As such, the journal covers a diverse, interdisciplinary range of topics that is unique in breadth and depth, including original articles and critical reviews highlighting important developments in the fields of medical and veterinary mycology, plant mycology and crop protection, mycotoxicoses and mycotoxins, molecular mycology, environmental aeromycology, entomopathogenic fungi and applied industrial mycology. The journal also welcomes papers on systematics and taxonomy of fungi involved in any of the above fields.

In addition to full-length reports of original research, Mycopathologia publishes short communications and interesting case reports, together with book reviews. Letters to the editor on topics of interest to mycologists are also published. These may include debates, disagreements, or further commentary on published works or opinions expressed in this or other publications. Rapid communications will also be considered for publication
