Fungal Biology is a scientific journal that publishes peer-reviewed papers on all aspects of basic and applied research of the fungi, including lichens, yeasts, oomycetes, and slime moulds.

[3] The journal was established in 1896 under the title Transactions of the British Mycological Society.

The earliest issues contained reports on fungus-collecting expeditions and the first British sightings of fungal species; later, research papers and reviews were also published.

The journal was initially printed by Ebenezer Baylis & Son in Worcester; in 1919, the publisher changed to Cambridge University Press.

Its frequency was quarterly, increasing to monthly by 1997, when it was still being published by Cambridge University Press.
