Instructions for authors


Manuscript submission
Articles must be submitted online to "Mycological Progress". This electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing time and shortens overall publication time. Please log directly onto the link below and upload your manuscript following the instructions given on screen. 
Legal requirements
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before (except in the form of an abstract, or as part of a published lecture, or thesis); that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities - tacitly or explicitly - at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation. The "Copyright Transfer Statement" has to be signed and faxed to the publisher together with the corrected proofs (see below) with which it will be provided by the publisher shortly after the manuscript has been accepted for publication. 
Manuscript preparation
All manuscripts are subject to peer review and copy editing. Authors are encouraged to suggest up to 5 potential referees. Short notes must not exceed 6 manuscript pages (ca. 26 880 characters, plus 1 table, 1 illustration) and should be accompanied by a brief explanation of their novelty and significance. Manuscripts must be written in English and should be typed in double-line spacing throughout with at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) margins. ?Use a normal, plain font (e.g., Times New Roman) for text. ?Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages. ?For indents use tab stops or other commands, not the space bar. ?Use the equation editor of your word processing program or MathType for equations. Abbreviations should be defined at first mention in the abstract and again in the main body of the text and used consistently thereafter. Symbols and units should be used in accordance with SI standards. Enzyme nomenclature has to refer to international standards, too. For decimal values a point and not a comma is used, e.g. ?.5?not ?,5? Footnotes to the title of the paper appear without a symbol; those to the text are numbered consecutively. Footnotes to tables should be with lower-case letters, except those referring to statistical values, where asterisks are used. Statistical analyses of data should be given, with the test of significance used and the estimate of probability. Sources of reagents, supplies, and equipment should be indicated in parentheses (company, city, country). If the equipment has been modified or newly constructed by the authors a detailed instruction has to be described. Alignment sequences will not be published unless they are essential. Authors must submit a CD containing aligned sequences for review purposes. It is required that new sequences and alignments be deposited in EMBL, TreeBASE or other publicly-accessible databases. Accession numbers for sequences and alignments must be provided before publication. Genus and species names should be in italics. Authority names of species and of all lower levels (except of ‘forma? have to be mentioned when used the first time. Abbreviations of authority names should follow KIRK & ANSELL (1992). Authorities must be given for all cultures, strains or isolates used in the published work and these should be identified by a culture collection number for use by others. Dichotomous keys have to be represented with indentations, combining all species with the same set of main characters as one entity. Generic names in keys are repeated with their initials. The characteristics used have to match completely. Segregate a complex of features by a semicolon, e.g. characteristics of hyphae; of spores; etc. 1 Spores dark brown, warty 2 Hyphae amyloid, with clamps T. incognita 2* Hyphae not amyloid, clamps lacking 3 Rhizomorphs present; crystals octahedral; hyphae brownish, 3-4 µm diam., simple septa lacking T. brunnea 3* Rhizomorphs lacking; crystals cubic; hyphae not brownish, 3.5-7 µm diam., simple septa present T. anglica 1* Spores colourless, smooth 4 Fruitbody resupinate, poroid T. poriiformis 4* Fruitbody not resupinate 5 Basidia ... 6... 6* ... 5* Basidia ... Before describing a new taxon consult the international code of Botanical Nomenclature?(GREUTER et al. 2000), and the instructions published by KORF (1995). For color characterisations of fruitbodies or cultures apply to any color reference book, for example, KÜPPERS (1978), KORNERUP and WANSCHER (1978), MUNSELL (1966) or RIDGEWAY (1912); avoid any description as ‘coffee-brown, or ‘honey-yellow? Numbers referring to color charts should always be accompanied by a descriptive part like ‘greenish yellow? ‘bluish green? or ‘yellow-brown? etc. Measurements of structures should be given with exceptional dimensions in parentheses; avoid any dash in the parenthesis, e.g. (17)23-38(54) x (7)12-16(29) µm. Lists of studied collections should be arranged alphabetically with respect to countries as the first item followed by state/province, town, locality, map co-ordinates, elevation, substrate, date of collection, collector, herbarium abbreviation in parentheses as indicated by HOLMGREN, HOLMGREN and BARNETT (1990), e.g.: Australia, WA, between Nannup and Augusta, Stewart Road, 3.7 km east of Brockman Highway, 34?0?6.7’’ S, 115?3?5.9’’ E, 150 m asl., Eucalyptus marginata (Jarrah), Eucalyptus calophylla (Marri) burnt forest, leg. R. Agerer and N. Bougher, 24. 8. 1999. Holotype (PERTH), Isotype (M). ?New Zealand, Auckland, .... Voucher specimens: Information must be provided where voucher specimens are deposited, irrespective whether a taxonomical work is submitted or any other study where species or strains have been investigated.   
Citations and References
Literature citations in the text should indicate the author's surname with the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. Carlin (1992); Brooks and Carlin (1992). If there are more than two authors, only the first should be named, followed by "et al." References at the end of the paper should be listed in alphabetical order by the first author's name. If there is more than one work by the same author or team of authors in the same year, a, b, etc. is added to the year both in the text and in the list of references. *Journal papers: name(s) and initial(s) of all authors; year; full title; journal title abbreviated in accordance with international practice; volume number; first and last page numbers Example: Donnelly DP, Boddy L, Leake JR (2004) Development, persistence and regeneration of foraging ectomycorrhizal mycelial systems in soil microcosms. Mycorrhiza 14: 37-45 If available, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the cited literature should be added at the end of the reference in question. Example: Bohrer KE, Friese CF, Amon JP (2004) Seasonal dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in differing wetland habitats. Mycorrhiza DOI 10.1007/s00572-004-0292-7 *Single contributions in a book: name(s) and initial(s) of all authors; year; title of article; editor(s); title of book; edition; volume number; publisher; place of publication; page numbers Example: Noirot C (1992) Sexual castes and reproductive strategies in termites.

Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York, pp 5-35 *Book: name and initial(s) of all authors; year; title; publisher; place of publication Example: Varma A, Hock B (eds) (1999) Mycorrhiza. 2nd ed, Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York  Please arrange your manuscript as follows: ?Title page: Including name(s) of author(s), a concise and informative title, affiliation(s) of the author(s), e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author. Do not include authority names of taxa. Abstract: Do not include authority names of taxa. ?Taxonomical novelties: All new taxa and combinations have to be listed in alphabetical manner; the authorities of the taxa must be added; the abbreviations ‘sp. nov.? comb. nov? have to be omitted in this paragraph.  ?Key words (up to 5) ?Introduction ?Materials and methods ?Results ?Discussion ?Acknowledgement(s) ?References ?Tables ?Figure legends
Tables and figures
Authors are encouraged to prepare as many illustrations as necessary to demonstrate all features properly, for support of descriptions and whenever descriptions are insufficient per se. Tables must be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals and submitted separately from the text. They should have a title explaining any abbreviation used in that table. All figures (photographs, graphs or diagrams) and tables should be cited in the text, and each numbered consecutively throughout. Figure parts should be identified by lower-case roman letters (a, b, etc.). If illustrations are supplied with uppercase labeling, lower-case letters will still be used in the figure legends and citations. The top of the figure, the title of the paper, the author’s name, and the figure number should be marked lightly on the reverse side in soft pencil. Figure legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations. The legends should be placed at the end of the text. Submit all figures as separate files and do not integrate them within the text. Line drawings: Inscriptions should be legible, with initial capital letters and appropriately scaled to the size of the drawing. Scanned line drawings should be digitized with a resolution of 800 dpi relative to the final figure size. Computer drawings: Computer drawings are acceptable provided they are of comparable quality to line drawings (minimum resolution of 300 dpi). Computer-drawn curves and lines must be smooth. Lettering must be of high quality; Helvetica is the preferred font. Lettering fonts must be consistent within and among all figures. Halftone illustrations (black and white and color): Sharp, well-contrasted photographic prints trimmed at right angles and in the desired final size should be submitted. Magnification should be indicated by scale bars. For scanned halftone illustrations, a resolution of 300 dpi is usually sufficient, TIFF is the preferred file format. Color illustrations: All color illustrations are published in full color in the electronic version free of charge. For publication in color in the print edition, the authors are expected to make a contribution of €950/US$ 1,150 (plus 19% VAT) per paper, irrespective of the number of color illustrations. Otherwise they will appear in black and white. Save color illustrations as RGB (8 bits per channel) in TIFF format. Plates: Several figures or figure parts should be grouped in a plate on one page.Please number plates according to their sequence in the text with Arabic numerals and the individual figures within a plate by lower case Roman letters (a,b, etc.). Vector graphics: Fonts used in the vector graphics must be included. Please do not draw with hairlines. The minimum line width is 0.2 mm (i.e., 0.567 pt) relative to the final size. EPS is the preferred file format. EPS files must always contain a preview in TIFF of the figure. Size of figures: The figures, including legends, should either match the column width (86 mm) or the print area of 176 x 236 mm. In case reduction is absolutely necessary, please state the alternative scale desired. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge illustrations. 
Electronic supplementary material
