Inhaltsangabe

This book is a taxonomic study of the vast family of parasitic fungi known as Meliola, which are exclusive to the tropics. The author has compiled and examined over 250 species, 100 of which are newly described and analyzed in this volume. The author employs multiple techniques and criteria to characterize these fungi, including measurements of spore size and shape, characteristics of mycelial and perithecial setae, and the morphology of capitate hyphopodia. In doing so, the author produces a thorough examination of Meliola, offering a definitive work for researchers while simultaneously illuminating the larger significance of fungal diversity and the importance of the tropics to host a plethora of such diversity.
