Laboratory Protocols in Fungal Biology Current Methods in Fungal Biology

From the book reviews:

“The book ‘Laboratory Protocols in Fungal Biology’ written by international researchers, offers diverse modern laboratory techniques in the field of fungal biology. … Each chapter is comprehensive, provides readily reproducible protocols and is easy to grasp by beginners. This book is a valuable guide to budding mycologists as well as professionals. It is recommended to all the Universities. A crucial Laboratory Manual for Fungal Biologists, Taxonomists, Fungal Biotechnologists, Biochemists, Histochemists, Plant Pathologists and Laboratory technicians.” (Melvina D’souza and Samantha C. Karunarathna, Fungal Diversity, December, 2014)

“This new book is very much hands-on, and covers an extraordinarily diverse range of topics. … Chapters are well-referenced to primary literature, and there are numerous links to website. There are numerous illustrations, most clearly presented, and in some cases using colour. This is a reference work that deserves to be accessible in all mycology laboratories … .” (IMA Fungus, Vol. 4 (1), 2013)
