In 2014 and 2016 Abdel-Azeem “the founder of Arab Society for Fungal Conservation” proposed a good candidate for celebration of Egypt’s National Fungus Day on the 20th of February. This is due to the role of ancient Egyptians in documentation and conservation of fungi since ancient time and Ramses II is one of the famous pharaohs and solar event in The Great Temple at Abu Simbel is a cosmopolitan one. Abdel-Azeem with the help of international societies, agencies and mycologists decreed the Egypt’s National Fungus Day in Bibliotheca Alexandrina in the 20th of February 2016 for the first time.
