The Fungi by Michael J Carlile

This book provides a lively and informative introduction to the fungi, one of the most diverse groups of living organisms. Taking a practical approach, The Fungi explores all aspects of mycology from a microbiological perspective, providing students with essential information on the structure, function, ecology and applications of fungi. Comprehensive coverage includes not only discussion of traditional and essential material, and classification and procedures for identification, but also the new science of gene cloning and the use of fungi as hosts in recombinant DNA technology. The Fungi is an essential text for students of microbiology and plant science, and an important reference for those with an interest in this fascinating class of microorganism. A glossary of terms is included which will allow students to get to grips with the terminology. In addition, the classification of species provides an invaluable reference source.
"The black-and-white photographs have been well selected and are excellently reproduced in the book.. the book can be highly recommended for teachers and researchers alike and the advanced forest pathology student will find it very useful." --EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY "This is a timely and welcome addition... extremely readable chapters... A major strength of the book is the number of cross-references between chapters. This will improve undergraduate learning and promote a more integrated understanding of fungal biology. I will certainly use it in my teaching and am sure many others will do likewise." --NEW PHYTOLOGY "The reputation and competence of the authors as lecturers and researchers and the excellent presentation of the various different aspects of the title subject with clear illustrations (drawings, tables, black and white photoprints) of good quality make this book a most useful, readable and recommendable source of information for beginners, advanced students and professionals in mycology." --F.J. Schwinn, in ZEIT FUR PFLANZENKRANKHEITEN UND PFLANZENSCHUTZ
