This book, a modern undergraduate textbook on fungi - what they are, what they do and how they do it - aims to provide a complete synthesis of current knowledge on the subject. Five main sections cover fungal organization and diversity, genetic organization and expression, metabolism, growth and differentiation, and fungal behaviour in the environment. The coverage is comprehensive and differs from most contemporary texts in combining fungal cell biology with accounts of whole organism biology and ecological behaviour.
