ABSTRACT:       Journals being the source of papers on mushrooms were
identified. The coverage of such papers by bibliographical data bases was
evaluated. A list of frequently cited papers is given and discussed.
Publications on physiology, biochemistry, genetics and diseases are cited
most. Technical papers are rarely cited. A citation analysis is a useful
tool in the evaluation of the scientific quality of research groups and
individuals. For the evaluation of applied and technical research other
tools should be developed / used.
