Collection of color photographs of fungi has 270 spectacular images of mushrooms and other fungi in their natural habitats. More than 180 species from six continents are show. Each one lists the country or U>S> state the photo was taken in, and most list the scientific name, with a few too rare to identify.

The book deals with the application of fungi and the strategic management of some plant pathogens. It covers fungal bioactive metabolites, with emphasis on those secondary metabolites that are produced by various endophytes, their pharmaceutical and agricultural uses, regulation of the metabolites, mycotoxins, nutritional value of mushrooms, prospecting of thermophilic and wood-rotting fungi, and fungi as myconano factories. Strategies for the management of some plant pathogenic fungi of rice and soybean have also been dealt with. Updated information for all these aspects has been presented and discussed in different chapters.

Mushroom is a plant constructed with no tissue structures. Which can be a unicellular or a multicellular organism. Although mushroom is a type of plant, they do not contain cellulose and chlorophyll. So, they cannot create their own nutrients, for self-survival and they must have to living on another plants or animals for absorb nutrition from them. We usually only see a part of mushrooms - look like shape of the fruits of the tree. Exactly, mushrooms typically look like umbrellas which have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus). The contain mushroom seeds called spores. The body of the mushroom in called mycelium and its individual parts are microscopic. The body of the mushroom is dispersed over a relatively large areas and rarely noticed. Mushroom is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota and Agaricomycetes). Include: Edible and poisonous species (Edible and poisonous mushrooms). India is the second most populous country of the world with a population of over 100 crores. Increase in population is creating an alarming situation in the food problem of India. Malnutrition in terms of `protein' deficiency is one of the major factors responsible for high mortality and morbidity in this country and other developing countries of the world. Due to population explosion (100 million/year) the problem of protein hunger will become more and more acute. Exploiting non-traditional food resources can make a substantial break-through - to meet the serious food deficit. Mushrooms, yeasts and algal foods are frequently mentioned as alternative sources of food. Of these, mushrooms are the most preferred. In the present circumstances, popularizing mushroom as part and parcel of everyday food is of paramount importance. Modern mushroom culture produces more protein per unit area of land than any other kind of agriculture and technology at present available. The use of mushrooms as food is probably as old as civilization itself. They have been a delicacy since ancient times. The Egyptians regarded them as a food for Pharaohs. The Greeks and Romans described them as 'food for the Gods" and were served only on festive occasions. Reference to mushrooms is found in Vedas. These were earlier preferred for their flavour and taste, while their nutritive value was recognized later. Mushrooms provide a rich addition to the diet in the form of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The protein content of fresh mushrooms (3g/100g) is about 3.7 percent. It is twice as high as that in most vegetables except green peas, Brussels sprouts and pulses and is much lower to meat, egg, fish and cheese. They have a high percentage of all the nine essential amino acids. They are low in calories (less than 35 K calories per 100 g) with traces of sugar and without cholesterol. These are richer in vitamins (B1, B2, niacin, B12, pantothenic acid and vitamin C) than most vegetables and almost free from fat (0.2g/100g). They are also a good source of minerals like, phosphorus, potassium and iron. Thus, they serve a valuable source of nutritive and protective food.

Join Elise Gravel as she explores the science of some of nature's weirdest and wildest characters—mushrooms! Elise Gravel is back with a whimsical look at one of her family’s most beloved pastimes: mushroom hunting! Combining her love of getting out into nature with her talent for anthropomorphizing everything, Gravel takes us on a magical tour of the forest floor and examines a handful of her favorite alien specimens up close. While the beautiful coral mushroom looks like it belongs under the sea, the peculiar lactarius indigo may be better suited for outer space! From the fun-to-stomp puffballs to the prince of the stinkers—the stinkhorn mushroom—and the musically inclined chanterelles, Gravel shares her knowledge of this fascinating kingdom by bringing each species to life in full felt-tip marker glory. Governor General award winning author Elise Gravel’s first book with Drawn & Quarterly, If Found...Please Return to Elise Gravel, was a Junior Library Guild selection, and instant hit among librarians, parents, and kids alike. Fostering the same spirit of creativity and curiosity, The Mushroom Fan Club promises to inspire kids to look more closely at the world around them and seek out all of life’s little treasures, stinky or not!

Although relatively little known, fungi provide the links between the terrestrial organisms and ecosystems that underpin our functioning planet. The Allure of Fungi presents fungi through multiple perspectives – those of mycologists and ecologists, foragers and forayers, naturalists and farmers, aesthetes and artists, philosophers and Traditional Owners. It explores how a history of entrenched fears and misconceptions about fungi has led to their near absence in Australian ecological consciousness and biodiversity conservation. Through a combination of text and visual essays, the author reflects on how aesthetic, sensate experience deepened by scientific knowledge offers the best chance for understanding fungi, the forest and human interactions with them.

Endophytic Fungi: The Full Story of the Untapped Treasure covers the developments in endophytic fungal research from beginning to the end by the eminent researchers involved in the field. It sheds light on the endophytic fungal current research, challenges, and future possibilities, the trending recent topics in the plant-fungal endophytes' biodynamics for sustainable development of bioproducts and its applications are supported in large-scale biosynthesis of industrially and pharmaceutical important biomolecules. Endophytic Fungi: The Full Story of the Untapped Treasure highlights the bioprospecting and applied aspects of endophytic fungal communities from diverse hosts and discusses the practical applications of such endophytes in detail. It also reviews recent strategies on alternative sustainable sources of medicines such as secondary metabolites of fungi instead of over collection of plants under prohibiting of biodiversity conventions. The uniqueness of this book is the inclusion of updated bioinformatics-based strategies and its importance in bioactive molecules produced by endophytic fungi. The book addresses one of the most eminent issues in this field: how to translate the potential that endophytic fungi hold in stable practical application. Covers major concepts of plant-fungi interaction, biodiversity of endophytic fungi from diverse and biotechnological applications for sustainable development Is extensively illustrated and clearly written, using easy-to-understand language, sharing the latest developments and potential of fungal products for various applications Sheds light on the endophytic fungal current research, challenges, and future possibilities
