XI Mycological Forum

Welcome to the celebration of the 11th edition of the Mycological Forum. As you know, this is a
event organized by the Spanish Association of Mycology, especially aimed at young people
mycologists
This is an in-person scientific conference with simultaneous telematic access, especially
designed to share knowledge and experiences in basic and human medical mycology and
animal.
The event will consist of three round tables proposed and organized by young researchers,
and two sessions of oral communications. In addition, we will have a guest lecture from
a senior researcher and a special closing, with an introductory talk followed by a
Open discussion with an expert in a specific field of mycology.
We encourage attending and participating, especially young mycologists, but
also to the senior researchers who make the scientific discussion that is generated in the
forum has an important educational character. In fact, previous editions have been
accredited as training activities by the Vice-Ministry of Health of the Basque Government and
Likewise, accreditation is requested for this edition.
