Abstract: The western mycological knowledge transmitted to China during late Qing dynasty has a seminal influence on the establishment and construction of modern Chinese mycology. Prior to the analysis of the influence, it is necessary to comprehensively investigate the relevant literature which is mainly distributed in various late Qing journals and newspapers. According to the statistics, it is found that there are 89 articles devoted to fungi and are distributed in 26 different journals and newspapers. 44 of them are on macrofungi, while 27 and 18 of them are on molds and yeasts. Only 28 articles are known to be translations, but those of the rest ones concerning the scientific knowledge of fungi are actually all introductions and translations. The western mycological knowledge in these articles is partly and indirectly introduced from Japanese books or journal articles, and partly translated from western scientific literature.

Key words: mycology, late Qing dynasty, journals and newspapers, Journal of Agriculture
