'A real fungal physiology text.' David Moore, Nature The book provides a wide variety of substrates and readers from many disciplines should find it nutritionally appropriate. I recommend it as a vital nutrient acquisition to all. Samuel Hammer, Plant Science Bulletin There is much of interest....These days, it is unusual for one person to attempt to encompass so wide a subject. It makes better reading than the usual compilation of disparate and inadequately edited articles by a number of authors and we give thanks for it. J.A. Barnett and R.P. Oliver, The Quarterly Review of Biology Extensively referenced, this book serves as an important tool for laboratory researchers involved in studies of the biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics of fungi. Impressive effort. Northeastern Naturalist
