Description
Ed Tech Press Soil Fungi A Textbook (Hb 2025) by T Gillespie
Microorganisms known as fungi typically develop as long threads or strands called hyphae that push through soil, rock, and root fragments. They have existed for an estimated billion years or so and are closely connected to both animals and plants. Soil fungus have been classified into at least 70,000 different species globally. Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Deuteromycota are the four taxonomically distinct categories into which they can be subdivided. However, it might be simpler for common observers to think of them in terms of their function and metabolic characteristics. The soil contains a variety of crucial fungi for biotechnology, industry, and the environment. A detailed overview of the description of several species of soil fungi from various genera is provided in this book. This book will significantly advance mycofloristics. It offers laboratory techniques for focusing on the ecological distribution of fungal species from various soils and their isolation, cultivation, and other forms of culture. This book's unique qualities include the microscopic and macroscopic details of the fungal species, pathogenocity, and clinical importance. It will act as a guide for both specialists and novices in the study of soil fungi, their identification, and their counting.
