Welcome preface

Dear mycologists of Europe and the world,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee and the European Mycological
Association (EMA), we have the honour to welcome you to Greece, to
Halkidiki, and to the XVI Congress of European Mycologists.
Greece is internationally famous for its long history and beautiful nature,
and Halkidiki especially so. There are sandy beaches and pine forests along
the coast, with dense oak and beech forests inland, and mountain villages
renowned for their mushroom gastronomy. All of these combine to make it
a wonderful place for mycologists and for anyone interested in fungi. The
excursion day will give you the opportunity to appreciate the wonderful
mountain scenery, and we hope you will use your free time to enjoy the area
around the Congress venue.
Although the climate is hot and dry, Greece hosts an amazing variety of
habitats and a wealth of fungi. The Forest Research Institute along with the
Department of Biology of the University of Athens and the Agricultural
University of Athens has been studying Greek fungi for over 3 decades. In
recent years, many new species have been recorded, we have re-introduced
cultivation of truffles and an interest in truffle gastronomy, and we are
encouraging the cultivation of edible mushrooms to fill a gap in the Greek
market.
We have also seen an interest in fungi develop in several parts of the
country. Six mycological societies have been established, and these organize
forays and outdoor mushroom festivals as well as seminars in an effort to
promote public interest in fungi. Holding this Congress in Greece will
undoubtedly act as a stimulus for more activity of this sort, and we can hope
for a growing awareness in Greece of the need for fungal conservation - a
very promising trend which should, in the future, result in a greater security
for fungal species and their habitats.
We thank you for participating in this Congress and, in particular, for
choosing to promote your research results and ideas through this congress.
By doing so, you have put in place all the prerequisites for a very exciting
scientific event. The quality of research, the wide range of topics including
both traditional and innovative themes, and the international co-operation so
clearly visible in your research teams show that collectively you form an
excellent cadre of scientists. We are particularly happy to see many young
mycologists, who will tomorrow continue our efforts to study and promote
mycology.
The Organizing Committee of this Congress has made a special effort to
promote important topics which have not received adequate attention in past
congresses. These include aeromycology, alien and invasive fungi, insect-
fungus associations and conservation, particularly the application to fungi of
IUCN criteria. To achieve our aim, we have invited as keynote speakers
some of the real stars in world mycology, and we offer all of them warm
thanks for accepting our invitation to attend.
We would like to acknowledge the help of all those involved in the
organization of this congress. We warmly thank Members of the Organizing
Committee who, although far away, contributed with ideas and advice, and
special mention should be made of the Members of the Scientific Advisory
3
Committee who helped substantially with their long experience and
knowledge.
The Congress is hosting 230 participants from 37 countries and every
inhabited continent - not only Europe, but also Africa, Asia, Australia,
North America and South America. It is very encouraging for European
mycology that our Congress is being attended by so many mycologists
outside Europe, and we believe this is a clear indication that this meeting is
maintaining a high scientific standard and that this series of congresses,
organized under the auspices of the European Mycological Association, is
on the right track.
Our meeting also provides an opportunity to review the work of the
European Mycological Association. Since the Association was established
at the XIV Congress in Crimea in 2003, European mycology has seen many
changes. Given its limited resources, the Association has only been able to
contribute to some of these, its biggest success since the XV Congress in St
Petersburg in 2007 being to play a leading role, through our conservation
wing, the European Council for Conservation of Fungi, in founding the
International Society for Fungal Conservation, the first society anywhere in
the world with the explicit objective of protecting fungi.
There is still, however, a long way to go before international
organizations, governments and the general public understand that fungi are
a separate biological kingdom and very special organisms, that fungi are
important in ecosystems, in the food chain, in medicine and in life, that
fungi merit conservation just as much as birds, mammals, plants, reptiles
and sea creatures. While we believe our association can take great pride in
being a parent of this newly created Society, it is clear that the European
Mycological Association faces many challenges and will need to adapt if it
is to meet them successfully.
Our Association, and the new society it helped to create can, however, do
nothing without members. Our location today makes it appropriate to recall
a famous saying of the Ancient Greeks: «Η δύναµις εν τω πολλώ» (Strength
lies in numbers) and, with that in mind, we urge you to join the
International Society for Fungal Conservation and to encourage others to
join it and the European Mycological Association. What we cannot achieve
as individuals we can achieve when we are united.
We wish you all success in your scientific goals and a pleasant stay at the
village of Neos Marmaras and the Porto Carras Resort.
