immc6 2011 - The 6th International Medicinal Mushroom Conference

The International Medicinal Mushroom Conferences are worldwide conferences presenting the latest findings in the fields of medicinal properties of mushrooms and their use as medicinal agents. They have been organized biennially since 2001, gathering on average more than 500 participants from all over the world. The participation of most recognized scientific authorities ? from mycologists, ecologists, forestry and agronomy experts, scientists from the fields of genetics, biochemistry and biotechnology, to pharmacists, nutritionists, medical doctors and medicinal sciences experts is a regular and integral part of every such conference. Equally important is the participation of numerous experts and business people working with mushrooms ? from growing mushrooms and producing quality mycelia, food industry, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industry to all other interconnected production and commercial initiatives.

The 1st International Medicinal Mushroom conference was held in Kiev, Ukraine (2001); followed by Pattaya, Thailand (2003); Port Townsend, USA (2005); Ljubljana, Slovenia (2007) and Nantong, China (2009). It is a great honor and privilege that the hosting and organizing function for the 6th International Medicinal Mushroom Conference in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, has been entrusted to Dr Myko San ?
