"Microbes, including fungi, constitute an important component of biodiversity. They comprise one of the biggest kingdoms in the living world. A lot of work has been done in mycology in the past several years in India and abroad.
The present book comprises a collection of 26 original research articles by eminent mycologists. These articles have been categorized under four major sections. This book would be very useful for researchers, teachers and students studying mycology." (jacket)
