Introduction to Fungi: 9780521014830: Medicine & Health Science Books @ desertcart.com Review: Great book anyone interested in fungi should have. - Some of the taxonomy in this book is not up to date anymore but that will almost certainly always be the case for a book like this. Apart from that little flaw it is an awesome book that I would recommend to anyone working with or interested in fungi. It helped me a lot in preparing for my preliminary exams as a Ph.D student in plant pathology. The book is really well written and covers the whole kingdom of fungi. I always enjoy reading it and am amazed by the lifestyle and capabilities of fungi again and again. I also think the price of this book is amazing compared to how much textbooks usually cost. Review: Just what I have been looking for - It is difficult to find such a comprehensive text for fungi - this is certainly comprehensive. However, it is also easy to read and is a great general resource for someone in a professional field who works with fungi.

Great book, one of the best informational mycology books out there
Intro is a misnomer. This is really scientific book and although the first couple pages may be an intro the 99% rest of the book is PhD level reading

Very dense textbook. It requires having a computer handy to look up things as I go and rereading, but I am learning lots.

Ugh...so many bad memories here
This book was required for a class I took, and it was not helpful at all. I am sure there are people who better understand the chemistry and micro-level stuff of fungi that this book would be great for, but those people aren't me, or the average undergraduate!
