"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. This title: provides insights into many topical areas such as fungal ultrastructure and the mechanisms of fungal growth, important fungal metabolites and the molecular techniques used to study fungal populations; 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; emphasises the functional biology of fungi, with examples from recent research; and, includes a clear illustrative account of the features and significance of the main fungal groups.
