Greece is internationally famous for its long history and beautiful nature, and Halkidiki especially so. There are sandy beaches and pine forests along the coast, with dense oak and beech forests inland, and mountain villages renowned for their mushroom gastronomy. All of these combine to make it a wonderful place for mycologists and for anyone interested in fungi. The excursion day will give you the opportunity to appreciate the wonderful mountain scenery, and we hope you will use your free time to enjoy the area around the Congress venue. Although the climate is hot and dry, Greece hosts an amazing variety of habitats and a wealth of fungi. The Forest Research Institute along with the Department of Biology of the University of Athens and the Agricultural University of Athens has been studying Greek fungi for over 3 decades. In recent years, many new species have been recorded, we have re-introduced cultivation of truffles and an interest in truffle gastronomy, and we are encouraging the cultivation of edible mushrooms to fill a gap in the Greek market. We have also seen an interest in fungi develop in several parts of the country. Six mycological societies have been established, and these organize forays and outdoor mushroom festivals as well as seminars in an effort to promote public interest in fungi. Holding this Congress in Greece will undoubtedly act as a stimulus for more activity of this sort, and we can hope for a growing awareness in Greece of the need for fungal conservation - a very promising trend which should, in the future, result in a greater security for fungal species and their habitats. We thank you for participating in this Congress and, in particular, for choosing to promote your research results and ideas through this congress. By doing so, you have put in place all the prerequisites for a very exciting scientific event. The quality of research, the wide range of topics including both traditional and innovative themes, and the international co-operation so clearly visible in your research teams show that collectively you form an excellent cadre of scientists. We are particularly happy to see many young mycologists, who will tomorrow continue our efforts to study and promote mycology. The Organizing Committee of this Congress has made a special effort to promote important topics which have not received adequate attention in past congresses. These include aeromycology, alien and invasive fungi, insect- fungus associations and conservation, particularly the application to fungi of IUCN criteria. To achieve our aim, we have invited as keynote speakers some of the real stars in world mycology, and we offer all of them warm thanks for accepting our invitation to attend. We would like to acknowledge the help of all those involved in the organization of this congress. We warmly thank Members of the Organizing Committee who, although far away, contributed with ideas and advice, and special mention should be made of the Members of the Scientific Advisory 3 Committee who helped substantially with their long experience and knowledge. The Congress is hosting 230 participants from 37 countries and every inhabited continent - not only Europe, but also Africa, Asia, Australia, North America and South America. It is very encouraging for European mycology that our Congress is being attended by so many mycologists outside Europe, and we believe this is a clear indication that this meeting is maintaining a high scientific standard and that this series of congresses, organized under the auspices of the European Mycological Association , is on the right track. Our meeting also provides an opportunity to review the work of the European Mycological Association . Since the Association was established at the XIV Congress in Crimea in 2003, European mycology has seen many changes. Given its limited resources, the Association has only been able to contribute to some of these, its biggest success since the XV Congress in St Petersburg in 2007 being to play a leading role, through our conservation wing, the European Council for Conservation of Fungi , in founding the International Society for Fungal Conservation , the first society anywhere in the world with the explicit objective of protecting fungi. There is still, however, a long way to go before international organizations, governments and the general public understand that fungi are a separate biological kingdom and very special organisms, that fungi are important in ecosystems, in the food chain, in medicine and in life, that fungi merit conservation just as much as birds, mammals, plants, reptiles and sea creatures. While we believe our association can take great pride in being a parent of this newly created Society, it is clear that the European Mycological Association faces many challenges and will need to adapt if it is to meet them successfully. Our Association, and the new society it helped to create can, however, do nothing without members. Our location today makes it appropriate to recall a famous saying of the Ancient Greeks: «Η δύναµις εν τω πολλώ » (Strength lies in numbers) and, with that in mind, we urge you to join the International Society for Fungal Conservation and to encourage others to join it and the European Mycological Association . What we cannot achieve as individuals we can achieve when we are united. We wish you all success in your scientific goals and a pleasant stay at the village of Neos Marmaras and the Porto Carras Resort.
