Mycologists, biologists, chemists, and even nanotechnologists now study the morphology, function, and other traits of fungi in search of everything from keys to survival in extreme climates to potential pharmaceutical leads such as statin drugs to lower cholesterol. Drawing on the experience of world renowned experts, this text compiles the multidisciplinary body of research and recent advances in fungal study into a comprehensive single-source reference. Contributions cover fungal interactions in various environments including air, fresh and marine water, and the paleo-environment, as well as fungal cultivation, study, and production.
