Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Text-Book of British Fungi The purpose and intention of the present work are set forth in the opening chapter. It is designed to be an elementary introduction to the study of Fungi, chiefly in those aspects which most readily engage popular attention. Beyond that, it is intended to cover, as comprehensively and accurately as possible, the entire subject of Fungi considered as aliment. I am well convinced that such information is often vainly sought for, that it is needed, and that it will prove useful. Every succeeding year shows that intelligent lovers of Nature are inclined to take an increasing interest in Fungi. There are, as I know from past experience, but few means open to such persons of acquiring the knowledge they are desirous of being possessed of, and there is no small difficulty in obtaining access to the recorded results of mycologists' labours. It has been my object to meet popular requirements, so far as my ability went, and I have not allowed myself to entertain the presumption of trying to do more. My interest in Fungi began in boyhood, but it has been mostly within the last ten years that I have been able to carry out diligent study, so far as the exigences of a struggling life afforded opportunities for it. It has never been my privilege, as yet, to meet with any person versed in Mycology from whom I could derive instruction.

This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fungi and microbes have predominant influence in our lives. They are directly or indirectly involved in generating the food we eat and drink, besides providing life saving pharmaceutical products, including the sources of enzymes. They play a vital role in recycling of organic matter and several ecological processes. Both fungi and microbes have contributed several billion dollars worth of technological products. For instance: yeast is used in brewing and bakery, Lactobacillus ferments milk to yoghurt and a number of edible mushrooms are rich in nutrients besides possessing many medicinal properties. Bacteria and fungi serve as key organisms in understanding life processes, genetic engineering and as experimental organisms. Therefore, it is necessary to study the biology and biotechnology of these organisms. It is a humble attempt of the authors to make the readers understand the biology and biotechnology of fungi and microbes in a simpler way and also to communicate the recent developments.

Download or read book Allure of Fungi written by Alison Pouliot and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although relatively little known, fungi provide the links between the terrestrial organisms and ecosystems that underpin our functioning planet. The Allure of Fungi presents fungi through multiple perspectives – those of mycologists and ecologists, foragers and forayers, naturalists and farmers, aesthetes and artists, philosophers and Traditional Owners. It explores how a history of entrenched fears and misconceptions about fungi has led to their near absence in Australian ecological consciousness and biodiversity conservation. Through a combination of text and visual essays, the author reflects on how aesthetic, sensate experience deepened by scientific knowledge offers the best chance for understanding fungi, the forest and human interactions with them.

Download or read book Mushrooms written by Peter Marren and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mushrooms, the first of a major new series of books on British natural history, provides a remarkable insight into the natural and human world of fungi. Peter Marren, in his inimitable, relaxed style, guides the reader through the extraordinary riches of this often overlooked group, from the amazing diversity of forms and lifestyles that populate the fungal landscape, to the pursuit of edible fungi for the pot, and the complexities of identification thrown up by our modern understanding of DNA. Throughout the book, the author tells a story rich in detail about how we have come to appreciate and, in some cases, fear the mushrooms and toadstools that are such an integral part of the changing seasons. Marren also provides a refreshingly candid view of our attempts to name species, the role of fungi in ecosystems, and our recent efforts to record and conserve them.
