Abstract
A classification of fungi into biosafety categories is proposed, and the criteria for attribution to biosafety levels (BSL) are briefly discussed. The list differs from previous publications on this topic mainly by stressing (ecological) criteria derived from the fungi rather than host factors, and in including all species accepted in the recent medical literature.Keywords
