The variety of the mycological world is far greater than most
people imagine. Tens of thousands of fungal species have been
described and many more are known only from the abundance of their
genes in soil and water. Fungi are hugely important as agents of
wood decay in forests, and, as parasites, they have caused the
deaths of millions of people by ravaging crops and reshaping
natural ecosystems. Fungi perform a variety of essential functions
in ecosystems, and are important to both agriculture and
biotechnology. Their importance is now becoming better appreciated
among scientists, though there is much still to be understood
concerning their taxonomy and evolution. This Very Short
Introduction highlights the variety and extraordinary natures of
fungi, revealing the remarkable facts of fungal biology and the
global significance of these enchanting organisms. ABOUT THE
SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University
Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and
challenging topics highly readable.
