Illustrated Genera of Imperfect Fungi

This manual is intended as a tool in the recognition and identification of genera of common or economically important imperfect fungi. It should be considered primarily as a teaching tool rather than a taxonomic treatment. The primary reason for preparing this edition is to improve the quality of the manual. With this purpose in mind, several changes and additions have been made: (1) Fifty-two genera that are seldom seen and seem to have little economic importance have been omitted. (2) Keys have been reworked in order to make them more usable and to eliminate errors. (3) A simplified key to selected common genera has been added, which may prove useful to the beginning student. (4) Scanning electron microscope photographs illustrating each method of conidial formation in the Hughes-Tubaki-Barron System are included - pages 41 to 44. (5) The reference section has been expanded to include literature related to the physiological section and other recent publications on taxonomy. (6) Consistent with our objective to make this manual more useful as a teaching tool, we have added a short section on nutrition and sporulation of selected imperfects and have suggested a few exercises or demonstrations that illustrate biological principles.

Illustrated Genera of Imperfect Fungi, Fourth Edition is an update of the classic reference that mycologists and others interested in imperfect fungi have relied upon for decades. It provides comprehensive information for recognizing, identifying, and learning various aspects of the reproductive and somatic morphologies of imperfect fungi. Its practical use in the identification of imperfect fungi makes it an essential tool. Changes in the 4th Edition include: The inclusion of general introduction to the imperfect fungi. It provides basic information about the use of the Saccardoan System as the basis for identifying imperfect fungi and studying their nature and diversity. The deletion of 52 genera that are infrequently isolated and have little economic impact. The addition of a simplified key of selected common genera-- a valuable reference tool. It includes fungi generally found in air, soil, and decaying vegetation. It can also be used to verify identifications made from the extended keys in the book. Updated and modified keys to make them more useful and error-free. Publication of scanning electron micrographs illustrating each method of conidial formation in the Hughes-Tubaki-Barron System. An expanded reference section that includes literature related to the new narrative section.
