The book considers a wide range of topics including the ecological importance of fungi, their biotechnological applications, their role in inducing disease in mammals and plants, and the role of the immune in the environment is described as is their role as a food source. Each chapter is written by internationally recognised experts giving the reader an up to date and detailed account of their knowledge of the biology and various applications of fungi. Fungi: Biology and Applications will be invaluable for undergraduates taking microbiology, biology or medical mycology modules and for postgraduates researching fundamental or applied aspects of fungal biology.
