Academic Press, 1981. — 660 pp.
ISBN 0-12-179502-0 (v. 2).With the publication of these volumes it can be truly said that the conidial fungi—long the stepchildren of mycologists—have finally been legitimized, and the editors are to be congratulated on putting together these authoritative volumes.
From systematics to biochemistry, from saprobes to human pathogens, from mycotoxins to mycoviruses, every topic that has been explored by mycologists in the last two centuries is included and beautifully summarized.Contents:
