The Fungi

I'm a graduate student working on a fungal pathogen and needed to brush up on my general fungal background. It's surprisingly difficult to find a textbook that approaches fungi from a cell biology perspective--most books tend to be skewed more towards phylogeny/taxonomy or identification. This book includes an overview of the taxonomy, but then goes more in-depth into the cellular/morphological characteristics that separate fungi from other eukaryotes. This textbook is easy to read and is written at a high undergraduate level; for full comprehension you'll need some background in basic cell biology. Most of the figures are black and white, though the book does also include a colorplate with several pages of full-color figures. I really enjoyed this textbook, and my lab mates keep borrowing it from me as well!

Un libro maravilloso lleno de descripciones exquisitamente escritas sobre los diferentes procesos que suceden dentro de organismos de distintas especies de hongos. Uno de los libros más interesantes que conozco sobre los procesos en el reino Fungi. Altamente bien referenciado, muy serio, y muy profesional.

coverrs all my questions about the fungi, great purchase!

Love this book!

good book but materials quite hard to read

goes into every detail and the writing is a bit hard to access at times but i still found myself wanting to continue reading after long periods of time. fungi are incredible and everyone deserves to learn more about this fascinating kingdom

So much yet to learn about fungi and the vital role they play in the ecosystem.

The seller scratched the original prize tag and details and sent to me, I have returned this book, also paper quality is poor, all images are in black and white layout.

I just received this book and was a bit worried about its print quality and how the book would be structured after reading some previous reviews... It isn't a colourful picturebook if that's what you're looking for basically all the illustrations that are in the book are black and white, but very clear and useful I'm not missing colour at all. Its packed with info on biological aspects of fungi some knowledge of cell biology definitely is needed but if you want to learn more about biological aspects of fungi this book will help you with that if you don't mind reading and researching. Worth every penny to me and the print quality is absolutely fine on my copy.

Excellent

I read a few textbooks on fungi and this is a good one
