The International Mycological Association, founded in 1971, represents the interests of over 30,000 mycologists worldwide.
It is a non profit organization, the purpose of which is the encouragement of mycology in all its branches.
Mycology is the study of all aspects of the fungi. This implies that the IMA should strive to promote mycology in its widest sense. For the coming four year term and until the IMC congress at Thailand in 2014, the Executive Committee and the Officers of the IMA will strive to:
Provide useful information and links on the website, to strengthen mycological integration and collaboration;
Promote open access of mycological journals and books, and support the flagship journals of our science to be more competitive with those of other sciences;
Establish online repositories under the auspices and management of the IMA, to which members can contribute and own;
Establish a promotional platform for all aspects of mycology in the IMA, which would enhance the visibility of our science.

Agenda for IMA Executive Board meeting of 14 April 2012
Uncorrected data of anamorph-teleomorph connections extracted from MycoBank and Index Fungorum. The present data sheets are meant to stimulate discussion in the afternoon sessions of the "One Fungus = Which Name" meeting. Dates relate to the genus, not the species. For most genera, the polyphasic status of their type species remain unknown. Connections are based on literature, and many have not been proven in culture, or at DNA level. These data have not been checked, and contain errors.
