Earlier this year more than 700 fungal biologists from around the world studying everything from yeast to saprophytes pathogens and endophytes made their biennial spring pilgrimage to California for the 23rd Fungal Genetics Conference where the breadth of fungal biology evolution pathogenesis and reproduction was discussed. Research presented at this year s conference generated a level of energy and excitement not seen in recent memory stemming from the explosion in the number of fungal genomes with full or partial sequence coverage since the previous meeting in 2003. This avalanche of genome sequence data has drastically changed the landscape of fungal research and in many respects provides future investigations with a clearer path paved with rich datasets extensive genetic resources and robust technologies. A few of the scientific highlights of the meeting are described here and abstracts for all presentations and posters can be found online at the Fungal Genetics Stock Center website http .
