Abstract Genome-enabled mycology is a rapidly
expanding field that is characterized by the pervasive
use of genome-scale data and associated computational
tools in all aspects of fungal biology. Genome-enabled
mycology is integrative and often requires
teams of researchers with diverse skills in organismal
mycology, bioinformatics and molecular biology. This
issue of Mycologia presents the first complete fungal
genomes in the history of the journal, reflecting the
ongoing transformation of mycology into a genome-enabled
science. Here, we consider the prospects for
genome-enabled mycology and the technical and
social challenges that will need to be overcome to
grow the database of complete fungal genomes and
enable all fungal biologists to make use of the new
data.
