From the book reviews: "The book is an outcome of contributions by international experts. It contains 15 chapters with references and an index at the end of the book. ... The book is valuable for mycologists and researchers working in the field of genomics, genetics and plant pathology. A requisite guide for students studying fungal biotechnology." (Melvina D'souza and Kevin D. Hyde, Fungal Diversity, December, 2014)
