Karljohanstiftelsen fick av Landshövding Anders Björck uppdraget att koordinera svampdagarna till Linnés minne 14-16 september 2007.
Forskningsnätverket Svampforum och skriften Opera Mycologica invigdes av H.K.H. Kronprinsessan Victoria den 14 september 2007. Kronprinsessan delade också ut priset "Outstanding Mycological Research of Benefit to Society" till de fem första arbetena nedan. Kronprinsessan delade även ut Nils Stormbys Linnéstipendium till Fumito Sasaki från Hokkaido University.
Opera Mycologica volym 1, 81 sidor (pdf). Innehåll:
Hans-Henrik Kristensen
On the success with Plectasin - a new antibiotic from a mushroom.
Amelia Kivaisi
Mushroom cultivation in Tanzania - a new industry.
Jeanne D. Mihail and Johann N. Bruhn
Bioluminescence is widespread within the Kingdom of Fungi.
Saisamorn Lumyong, Rarunee Sanmee and Pipob Lumyong
Is large scale cultivation of boletes possible?

Handledargenealogi (2004-1454): från Wedén via Linné till Andronicus Callistus.
Karljohanstiftelsen grundades på Uppsala slott den 4 oktober 2005. Ändamålet är att främja holistisk vetenskaplig forskning och utbildning om mat- och medicinalsvampar.
Genom att fokusera resurser på dessa dåligt kända organismer, gagnas forskning, industri och vetande.
Vi tar inte emot ansökningar, utan väljer själva projekt och mottagare.
Just nu investerar vi privata sponsormedel för att skapa Svampforum. I referensgruppen ingår representanter från Uppsala universitet, Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet, Lunds universitet, Umeå universitet och Livsmedelsverket.
Vill Du som privatperson eller företag stödja planerna på Svampforum, via t.ex. sponsormedel, donationer, skattefria aktieutdelningar (nyhet) eller testamenten, vänligen kontakta stiftelsens föreståndare.
Styrelseordförande: civilingenjör Magnus Appelgren.
Föreståndare: docent Eric Danell.
