Beskrivning

This third edition describes and illustrates more than 515 fungal species, including 49 oomycetous, 35 zygomycetous, 49 ascomycetous, 38 basidiomycetous, and 344 anamorphic species. All fungi are described alphabetically in order of Oomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Anamorphic (Deuteromycetous) fungi. For each genus, the atlas includes type species, references, morphology, and materials. The book illustrates all fungi alongside morphologies and colonies of their fresh agar cultures or dried specimens, providing ready access to morphologically similar fungi for quick comparison. This edition also contains a bonus CD-ROM, which includes color versions of all images from the book.

Praise for the Second Edition:"… presents a large amount of work collected systematically over a long period of time. …Dr. Watanabe shares his experience acquired as a plant pathologist and mycologist specialized in soil and similar fungi over a long period of time. …will soon become a standard reference in mycological libraries."—Liliane E. Petrini, Comano, Switzerland, in Sydowia 54 (2) December 2002"… a useful tool for all involved in mycological studies."—Journal of Plant Pathology (2002), 84 (2)"The methods presented, which have been worked out experimentally, are some of the best methods, particularly for culture maintenance, that this reviewer has ever seen in print …Each specimen is very ably illustrated with one to six photographs of outstanding quality, which should allow easy identification …All in all, an outstanding book for individuals interested in soil and seed fungi or for plant pathologists."—J. Dawson, Pittsburg State University, in CHOICE, February 2003, 40 (6)
