Abstract
Mycology, as reflected in fungal systematics, affects world trade and the development of policies on the movement of agricultural commodities. Examples are provided illustrating the impact of systematic knowledge on world trade and the urgent need for research on fungi in order to provide the scientific basis for plant quarantine policies and decisions. Additionally, the contributions of world trade to our knowledge of the biodiversity of fungi are discussed. A brief history of plant quarantine legislation is provided as well as background information on recent changes in the criteria used in establishing national and international phytosanitary regulations.
