Abstract
Both microfungi and macrofungi receive considerable attention from mycologists. This short chapter points out, with some examples, a group of fungi of intermediate size and appearance\ that tend to be relatively neglected: sometimes because of where they grow, sometimes because of their unusual appearance and sometimes because of their diminutive size. I have termed them mesofungi.
