The fungi are one of the great groups of living organisms, comparable in numbers of species, diversity, and ecological significance with animals, plants, protists, and bacteria. This textbook deals with all fundamental and applied aspects of mycology, illustrated by reference to well studied species from major fungal groups.

First Sentence

A fungus familiar to almost everyone is the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (Fig. 1.1), which is grown commercially on a very large scale, and also survives in natutre.
