Cultivation of Prized Mushrooms by Different Methods Cultivation of
Ectomycorrhizal Mushrooms Bioactive Compounds of Agaricus blazei
Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Properties of Cultivated Macrofungi
Photoactive Pigments from Mushrooms Pigments from Spalting
Mushrooms Applications of Mycelium-Based Composites, Mycoleather,
Packaging and Construction Fungi-Derived Composite Nanopapers
Mushroom Nutrition as Preventative Healthcare Biotechnology of
Termitomyces Biotechnology of Cordyceps militaris Biofertilizer
Potential of Ectomycorrhizae Bioproducts for Controlling Parasitic
Nematodes Nutraceutical Potential of Wild Mushrooms
Large scale cultivation of macrofungi is possible with
fermentation, using easily accessible lignocellulosic agricultural
residues utilising economical methods to generate substantial
biomass, food and biofuels. Bioconversion of lignocellulosic wastes
by macrofungi generates value-added fungal nutritional biomass for
humans and livestock. Besides commercial cultivation techniques,
other topics covered include healing potential of mushrooms,
industrial opportunities, mycelium-based products, forest wild
mushrooms and industrial applications of white rot fungi. This book
addresses the various applications of macrofungi. It encourages
readers to explore non-conventional sources of nutrition as well as
bioactive metabolites to serve as nutraceuticals. The volume
emphasizes the significance of macrofungi as source of bioactive
compounds to remedy human lifestyle diseases especially cancers and
cardiovascular ailments along with immunostimulation potential by
Cordyceps. This book also emphasises on the role of mushrooms as a
source of cosmeceuticals, source of flavors, essence, scents and
perfumes.

The book is comprised of more than a dozen chapters on fungi
from different substrates including fossilized leaves. It discusses
association of fungi occurring on important plants, some animals,
and saprophytic substrates. Besides the taxonomic information, some
ecological aspects like distribution and substrate/host preferences
are discussed. The book also reviews the myxomycete.
Advances in Macrofungi: Diversity, Ecology and Biotechnology
discusses the diversity and ecology of edible, toxic, medicinal and
mycorrhizal macrofungi; the impact of ectomycorrhizal fungi in
terrestrial ecosystems, ectomycorrhizal complex in Boreal forests
and commercial application of Pseudotsuga in silviculture; the
nutritional evaluation and cultivation of edible wild mushrooms;
the diversity of novel metabolites of macrofungi useful in food,
pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries; mushrooms as tool for
eco-friendly synthesis of nanoparticles and proteomics of edible
and medicinal mushrooms. In addition, it covers experimental
designs, methodological approaches, biogeochemical cycles,
conceptual/hypothetical models and life history strategies, linking
mycorrhizal diversity to plant performance, chemotaxonomy, role of
mycorrhizae in forestry and macrofungi in nanotechnology. It
provides a valuable resource to graduate, post-graduate and
researchers (in botany, microbiology, ecology, biotechnology,
forestry, life sciences and environmental sciences) to understand
the diversity, ecology, therapeutic value, mutualistic associations
and biotechnological potential of macrofungi.

Indian mycologists have extensively studied various groups of fungi
such as soil fungi, aquatic fungi, marine fungi, endophytic fungi,
fungi associated with man and animals. Though several books on
various aspects of fungi are published, this is the first account
of the history and developments in mycology in India. It discusses
at length various stages of development of mycology including both
classical and biotechnological aspects. It begins with a historical
account of Indian mycology, followed by a description of research
on fossil fungi. Further chapters cover the latest updates on
different taxonomic groups of fungi. A dedicated section describes
the roles and applications of fungal endophytes. The book also
includes research in other important areas such as mushrooms and
wood rotting fungi. Different chapters are written by leading
mycologists. This book is useful to students, teachers and
researchers in botany, microbiology, biotechnology and life
sciences, agriculture and industries using fungi to produce various
valuable products.

The book provides an introduction to the basics of fungi,
discussing various types ranging from edible mushrooms to
Neurospora - a model system for genetics and epigenetics. After
addressing the classification and biodiversity of fungi, and fungi
in different ecological niches, it describes the latest
applications of fungi, their role in sustainable environments and
in alleviating stress in plants, as well as their role in causing
plant and animal diseases. Further chapters explore the advances in
fungal interactions research and their implications for various
systems, and discuss plant-pathogen interactions. The book also
features a section on bioprospecting, and is an extremely
interesting and informative read for anybody involved in the field
of mycology, microbiology and biotechnology teaching and research.
