International Medicinal
Mushroom Conference
The International
Medicinal Mushroom Conference (IMMC) is also known as the "Olympic Games
of Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms". It is a platform for all medicinal
mushroom researchers to come and discuss basic and currently important
scientific questions, share the results of individual studies, make new or
renew friendships, and work together to develop a new chapter in medicinal
mushrooms.
The awareness of the international movement
for the medicinal mushroom industry made a marked important milestone when the
International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms (IJMM) was launched in 1999 by
Begell House Inc. (USA). This organized effort then led to the inaugural International Medicinal Mushroom Conference held in
Kiev, Ukraine, in 2001, where it was agreed that there would be an IMMC every
two years. The IMMC2 was held in Pattaya, Thailand, in 2003; the IMMC3 took
place in Port Townsend, Washington, USA, in 2005; the IMMC4 was held in
Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 2007; the IMMC5 in Nantong, China, in 2009; the IMMC6
in Zagreb, Croatia, in 2011; the IMMC7 in Beijing, China, in 2013; the IMMC8
was held in Manizales, Colombia, 2015, and the IMMC9 was held in Palermo, Italy
