The Fifth Kingdom Encyclopedia Book

The Fifth Kingdom 3/e and its accompanying CD-ROM form a compact but comprehensive encyclopedia of all things mycological. Bryce Kendrick, a world-renowned mycologist explores every aspect of the fungi, from aflatoxin to zoospores, with an accessible blend of verve and wit. The 24 chapters are filled with up-to-date information on classification, yeasts, lichens, spore, dispersal, allergies, ecology, genetics, plant pathology, predatory fungi, biological control, mutualistic symbioses with animals and plants, fungi as food, food spoilage and mycotoxins, poisonous and hallucinogenic fungi, medical mycology, antibiotics and organ transplants. Personal anecdotes drawn from a lifetime of involvement with fungi, a comprehensive glossary and over 1200 colour pictures on the CD-ROM make this a perfect introduction to the kingdom of fungi. Preloved, a little bit of wear but still good condition, does not come with CD-ROM
