This reference book includes 24 chapters written by a
group of experts in the different fields of microfungi and cover a
broad range of topics on microfungi. It provides the most
updated information on the latest development in systematics and
taxonomy of microfungi, new techniques which were developed in the
last ten years and their application in microfungal research. After
the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants
(Melbourne Code) was adopted by the Eighteenth International
Botanical Congress Melbourne, Australia, July 2011, it has had a
profound impact on mycology and its research. Fungal nomenclature
changes and its significance to fungal taxonomy and naming of
microfungi in the future is discussed in detail. Since dual
names system for fungi developing both sexual and asexual states,
and fungi developing only asexual state is no longer
available, the first five chapters will clarify some confusion
and provides perspective views on the direction for future
research. The next nine chapters cover microfungi and their
ecological roles or functions in the different habitats (air,
indoor, aquatic, marine, plants, soils, etc). The remaining
13 chapters cover the relationship of microfungi and
humans (good and bad) and usage or application microfungi in
different industries, such as food, agriculture, forestry, green
technology, pharmaceutics, and medicine, as well as in our daily
life. The book bridges the gap between basic mycological
research and applied mycology and provide readers a unique set of
information and knowledge of microfungi generated from multiple
angles in different fields of mycology.
