User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “It is the best textbook available for a comprehensive view of the fungi and their importance to the human condition.” Robert Roberson, Arizona State University “…fully updated and expanded, and can still (or even better now) serve as an excellent textbook for students.” Persoonia, June 2006 “My very positive impression of this book has prompted me to prescribe it as the text for the undergraduate mycology paper at the University of Otago. I think the book will inspire students by giving them an appreciation of the wide scope of experimental mycology, and I would thoroughly recommend it to readers who want a thorough expose of the wonderful world of fungi.” New Zealand Journal of Botany From the Inside Flap Fungal Biology is the fully updated new edition of this undergraduate text, covering all major areas of fungal biology and providing insights into many topical areas such as: fungal ultrastructure and the mechanisms of fungal growth important fungal metabolites, including antibiotics, mycotoxins and immunosuppressants the molecular techniques used to study fungal populations fungal genetics and fungal genomes the significance of fungi in mutualistic and pathogenic interactions the major methods for controlling fungi, including the fungi that cause diseases of humans and the antifungal drugs used to treat these infections This edition also focuses on the interactions of fungi that form the basis for developing biological control agents, with several commercial examples of the control of insect pests and plant diseases.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It seems odd that an ebook published in 2019 only provides black and white images to identify the fungi. Editors, please check the hyperlinks because they are not all in working order. Why does the publication list this as 2013 but the ebook publication state 2006?

⭐Excellent book! Was for a Mycology course

⭐Expensive book, too technical for my undergraduate class. Never would have bought it if I had not been told to buy it for a class.

⭐Book is in a perfect condition and price was great!!!Will buy from you guys again!

⭐When I purchased this item I read that it was going to be a fast delivery but it took longer than I excpected. Other than the delay in delivery the book arrived fast and I started to read because I had a test coming up.

⭐I bought this because it is one of the best reference books we had in the lab. I wanted my own copy when I left.

⭐Ho acquistato questo libro per la preparazione di un esame di Micologia all’università; il libro è molto approfondito su diversi aspetti. L’unica cosa che potrebbe essere un problema per qualcuno, è il fatto che il libro si possa trovare solamente in lingua inglese.
