This maybe of interest to some of the YEAST/bionet.molbio.yeast
readers.

I am pleased to announce that MYCOLOGY/bionet.mycology passed by a
large vote of 196 to 2.  Kenton Hoover will not be back in the office
until next week, so we will probably have this group established
sometime in the latter half of next week.  Please watch this newsgroup
for an announcement of its availability.  Please DO NOT send in
requests for e-mail subscriptions until we announce that the group is
ready.

				Sincerely,

MYCOLOGY/bionet.mycology charter:

We would like to propose the formation of a new BIOSCI newsgroup for
Filamentous Fungi.  This news group would provide a new forum for the
community in which to discuss a range of issues relevant to the
biology and study of filamentous fungi.  In particular, it will
provide an on-line forum to continue the discussions begun at the last
Asilomar Conference concerning the need and planning to organize the
beginning of Genome Projects for these organisms, including the
computer information systems used to disseminate information to the
community at large (e.g., Gopher, WAIS, WWW).  As implementation of
the Informatics resources for individual species gets under way,
especially databases for each species, it is expected that this
newsgroup will subserve a crucial role in keeping the community
informed as to where information resides, and how users can access it.
