The Mycological Society of America (MSA), the International Mycological Association, the Latin American Mycological Association (ALM), the Puerto Rican Mycological Society (SPM), Universidad del Turabo and Meet Puerto Rico are proud to sponsor the 11th International Mycological Congress in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This will be the first time IMC is celebrated in Latin America and the Caribbean region, one of the circa 30 biodiversity hotspots of the world. Puerto Rico is an ideal setting for a mycological congress because our long history in mycology and our location in the subtropical region offering a diversity of ecosystems (from dry to rain forests) harboring many tropical fungi.
San Juan, the capital city, possesses a state of the art convention center, excellent hotels, excellent cultural activities and an amazing culinary experience. The Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport is a main hub for different airlines receiving direct flights from major airports in the USA, Europe, Central and South America. Come and enjoy IMC 11 in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2018. Puerto Rico is ready for you!

The workshop had seven key lectures by: Álvaro G. Gutiérrez (Universidad de Chile, Chile), Andrea Premoli (Universidad Nacional del Comahue, Argentina), Götz Palfner (Universidad de Concepción, Chile), Fernando Borie and Pablo Cornejo (Universidad de La Frontera, Chile), Maarja Öpik (University of Tartu, Estonia), C. Guillermo Bueno (University of Tartu, Estonia), and Jens Boy (Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany). The key lectures covered topics such as temperate rainforest plant biodiversity (A.G. Gutiérrez and A. Premoli), EM fungal diversity patterns (G. Palfner), the effects of AM fungi on soil properties and on agriculture and bioremediation (F. Borie – P. Cornejo), molecular community ecology of AM fungi from local to global scales (M. Öpik), plant mycorrhizal traits across different scales (C.G. Bueno), and biogenic weathering by mycorrhiza (J. Boy). Overall, there were over 70 participants for this workshop, coming from eight countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Estonia, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, and Uruguay), and 26 institutions (including universities, research centers, companies, foundations and public entities). Besides the seven key lectures, 14 oral presentations and 28 posters were presented at the workshop.
