Abstract
Research topics from the following papers which constitute the second International Symposium on Arctic and Alpine Mycology (ISAM) are largely biased in favour of taxonomy, perhaps because of the pioneering work being conducted in the field of Arctic and alpine mycology. The present volumne contains a collection of 20 papers dealing with fungi from Arctic, Arctic-like, or alpine habitats (c.f. Watling’s paper); eight of which are devoted wholly or inpart to the Ascomycotina and eleven that are dedicated to investigations mainly on the Basidiomycotina. Abstracts for most these works were published separately (Laursen and Ammirati, Univ. Alaska, Agric. Exp. Stn., Misc. Pub. 84–2, 1984).
