The retirement of David Moore from the position of Executive
Editor of Mycological Research brings to a conclusion a period
during which the journal has consolidated its role as the
leading international publication in fungal biology, serving
the needs of professional mycologists and a host of other
research workers in many related fields.
Dr Moore was first appointed as an editor of the then
Transactions of the British Mycological Society in January 1985
at a time when its Editorial Board consisted of about fourteen
British members.
