The mycological journal Studies in Mycology (SiM) was established by the late CBS director Johann Adolf von Arx in September 1972 and has evolved from a publication with taxonomic monographs with irregular appearance to a professional journal. Deviating from the practice of previous years when the Studies in Mycology (SiM) appeared once a year, the editorial board decided in 2005 that:
SiM would in future publish three issues per year; SiM would only accept papers that deal with fungal
cultures, and/or fungal DNA, which should be deposited at CBS to be optimally
accessible to the scientific community; SiM would publish papers by invitation or if a volume or
special topic was supported by one of its associate editors; SiM would move to a print-on-demand system that allows to
incorporate full colour throughout the journal at reasonable costs, making
SiM the first mycological journal to do so; SiM would be effectively linked to MycoBank
(www.MycoBank.org),
which facilitates the incorporation of additional data and illustrations that
are not printed in the journal itself. This policy has resulted in the publication of an issue focusing on Antarctic fungi and evolution under extreme conditions (De Hoog et al. 2005, Selbmann et al. 2005), an issue focusing on the phylogeny and morphology of Cytospora species and related teleomorphs (Adams et al. 2005), and a third issue focusing on the missing lineages, namely the taxonomy and ecology of sterile endophytic root-associated fungi (Hambleton & Sigler 2005, Hambleton et al. 2005, Mandyam & Jumpponen 2005, Rice & Currah 2005a, b, Sigler & Gibas 2005, Sigler et al. 2005, Summerbell 2005a, b, Zettler et al. 2005, Zijlstra et al. 2005). In the latter issue molecular techniques were indispensable to resolve the missing lineages of sterile root-inhabiting fungi and root-associated fungi such as Oidiodendron, Meliniomyces, Leohumicola, and Cryptosporiopsis.

Effectively SiM should eventually become a journal that is seamlessly linked to regular online mycological journals such as Mycological Research and Mycologia, as well as MycoBank, GenBank, the CBS culture collection, and online herbaria, to name but a few.
February 2007 saw the first issues of SiM appearing online via HighWire Press. During 2007, we shall apply for inclusion in PubMed, which would further assist us in our goal to freely distribute published mycological literature, and to help promote mycology internationally.

SIM 55: 100 Years of Fungal Biodiversity in southern Africa
The centenary of the National Collection of Fungi in South Africa was the
incentive for a special celebratory volume of SiM, focusing on some
current fungal research activities underway in southern Africa. Furthermore,
it also led to the digitalization of "Doidge 1950" [The South
African Fungi and Lichens to the end of 1945, Bothalia 5: 1–1094],
which made all these old fungal records available online. This set the stage
for papers treating the history of the National Collection of Fungi
(Rong & Baxter 2006), and
another one speculating about the number of fungal species that exist at the
tip of Africa (Crous et al.
2006d). Several disease and saprobic fungal complexes on
Eucalyptus trees were treated
(Cortinas et al. 2006,
Crous et al. 2006e,
f,
g,
de Beer et al. 2006,
Gryzenhout et al.
2006, Hunter et al.
2006). Indigenous fungi on rooibos (Aspalathus linearis)
(Van Rensburg et al.
2006), Restionaceae
(Lee et al. 2006),
Proteaceae (Roets et al.
2006), Myrtales
(Nakabonge et al.
2006), and Zizyphus
(Maier et al. 2006),
also received attention, along with soil-inhabiting genera such as
Cylindrocladium (Crous et
al. 2006b), and Cylindrocarpon
(Halleen et al.
2006). Furthermore, Zhou et al.
(2006) and Zipfel et
al. (2006) treated the
genus Ophiostoma, and reinstated Grossmania as distinct from
Ceratocystiopsis. Two major Mycosphaerella disease complexes
were treated by Crous et al.
(2006a,
c), showing that one species of
Pseudocercospora griseola with two formae was associated
with angular leaf spot of bean, but several species of Cercospora
were associated with grey leaf spot of maize.
SIM 56: Hypocrea and Trichoderma studies marking the 90th birthday of Joan M. Dingley
A special issue of SiM was dedicated to Joan M. Dingley on the
occasion of her 90th birthday. Joan Dingley received international
status as mycologist for her excellent monographic work dealing with the
Hypocreales of New Zealand. This special issue consists of four
papers focusing on Trichoderma and their Hypocrea
teleomorphs (Jaklitsch et al.
2006, Overton et al.
2006a,
b,
Samuels et al. 2006).
Overton et al.
(2006a,
b) dealt with some
conspicuous, mainly fungicolous Hypocrea species which have
inconspicuous anamorphs. Samuels et al.
(2006) (T. koningii
clade) and Jaklitsch et al.
2006 (T. viride clade) dealt with some of the commonest,
but very complex species, in which the Trichoderma anamorph outweighs
the teleomorph in ecological success and differentiation. These groups include
some important biocontrol agents.
