Abstract
Mycological research in Singapore is carried out primarily in the Botany Department, National University of Singapore. The areas of research include studies on general mycoflora, soil fungi, freshwater and marine fungi, leaf surface fungi, mushrooms, food and feed fungi, fungi causing biodeterioration and fungi of importance in enzyme and flavour production. The department’s collection of fungi consists of living cultures and herbarium specimens. The two main problems facing mycological research are the lack of assistance in identification of fungi and the lack of manpower.
