Mycotaxon was a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers the nomenclature and taxonomy of fungi, including lichens.

Korf and Hennebert introduced a number of innovations to make their journal more efficient and accessible than its contemporaries.

Mycotaxon reduced the wait time between submission and publication by requiring authors to submit camera-ready copy.

[3] Mycotaxon took an unusual non-blind approach to refereeing: authors were required to enlist a reviewer outside their institution to peer-review their manuscript prior to its submission.

[2] Initially Mycotaxon did not demand page charges from authors, rather relying on subscription fees to finance publication.
