Hardcover. Zustand: New. Fungi are omnipresent and cosmopolitan in distribution. Fungi are the second species-rich organisms group after Insects. Fungi play an important role in decomposition, industry, agriculture, medicine, biotechnology and many other related aspects of human welfare. 13 million fungi have been in the world. Today around 140,000 fungal species are reported in the world, while in India only 30000 fungal species are reported. This is more challenging task to compile the fungal inventory as compared other organisms such as plants. Moreover, there is no red data book on fungi in India. Keeping in view the above aspects diversity, conservation and utilization aspects of fungi have much greater important. The fungal flora of India is rich and diverse. One-third of the global biodiversity of fungi occur in India. The problems faced by the researchers are enormous due to the non-availability of complete data on the reported fungi from India. Hence, it has become important in bringing out up to date list of fungi reported from India. It has also become a necessity for fungal taxonomists. Therefore, the listing of Indian Fungi is important. Earlier, Late Prof. K. S. Bilgrami and his colleagues had taken much of effort to bring out the volumes of Fungi of India, wherein they had mentioned about the name of the fungus, collection place, date/ year etc. along with its related references. The present revision of "Fungi of India" Part I includes fungi reported from 1979 to 1988 and Part II includes enlisting fungi from 1988-2020, with their complete data with 1051 references.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: I. Mycological characterization of agriculturally important fungi. II. Mycological techniques and other Requirements. 1. General methods to study fungi. 2. Methods of obtaining pure fungal cultures. 3. Preservation and maintenance of fungal cultures. 4. Glossary of mycological terms. Index. Fungi are ubiquitous and cosmopolitan in distribution. Fungi are non-chlorophyllus organisms that occur in diversified habitats as saprophytes and parasites. Fungi are the second species-rich organism group after insects. It is more challenging to complete the fungal inventory as compared to other organisms such as plants. Fungi play an important role in decomposition, industry, agriculture, medicine, biotechnology and other related aspects of human welfare. The fungal flora is rich and diverse. Today around 140,000 fungal species are reported from the World. Edible mushrooms are cooked and eaten directly. Bread, cheese and various other foods, alcoholic beverages, chemicals, medicines are products of microbial activities of yeast, Aspergillus, Penicillium and other fungi. Some fungi however, attack directly plants, animals and human beings causing diseases. Some fungi are often poisonous and carcinogenic, excrete toxins and contaminating foods. Fungi inhaled occasionally inside houses and building or in the fields cause asthma and allergenic troubles. Some fungi are useful, influencing our lives directly or indirectly, but most fungi live under soil conditions separate from our life and we do not understand their usability. Some fungi are causing devastating diseases in different crops in the fields and post harvest situations resulting heavy monitory losses. In this book, the morphological illustrations were depicted for identification of different groups of agriculturally important fungi isolated from soil, seeds and plant materials. Many of these fungi influence the plant growth and there by its yield. Descriptions and photo-micrographs of these fungi are helpful for identification of fungi and there by disease diagnosis. However only few books are available with pictorial morphological descriptions for different groups of fungi. In the plant pathological fields, Mycological studies are prerequisite to determining the causal agents of the diseases, including isolations, preservation, classification and identification. The fungi illustrated in this book were isolated, purified and preserved during their morphological characterization studies. Many of the given fungi are the important plant pathogens but some of them are not pathogenic to plants. These saprophytic fungi have been studied to find effective biocontrol agents among them. Since biocontrol practices are being used widely in the current scenario of organic farming to control plant diseases, many of biocontrol fungal species have been included in this publication. In this book, 195 species of fungi that have been studied mycologically were described with illustrations. Only a few references or monographs are available on morphological characterization of different groups of fungi. Therefore, this book may be of greater importance to student, academicians and researchers.
