Description
This dictionary, now in its 52nd year, aims to provide all those who work with fungi a way into our accumulated knowledge on them. This edition is the first to accept that fungi have to be dispersed through three kingdoms of eukaryotes: Chromista, Fungi, and Protozoa. This edition also has several other new features: a) the inclusion of a key to the accepted families for the first time since the fifth ed. em 1961; b) a synopsis of the genera referred to particular orders and families; c) notes on major mycological collections and cross references to their acronyms; d) the revision of most general entries by specialists; d) the separate listing of many prefixed terms; f) the inclusion of entries for all accepted families and some frequently used synonyms; g) the inclusion of illustrations adjacent to the appropriate entries; and h) a larger page size to help its stay-open factor.
