Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The variety of the mycological world is far greater than most people imagine. Tens of thousands of fungal species have been described and many more are known only from the abundance of their genes in soil and water. Fungi are hugely important as agents of wood decay in forests, and, as parasites, they have caused the deaths of millions of people by ravaging crops and reshaping natural ecosystems. Fungi perform a variety of essential functions in ecosystems, and are important to both agriculture and biotechnology. Their importance is now becoming better appreciated among scientists, though there is much still to be understood concerning their taxonomy and evolution. This Very Short Introduction highlights the variety and extraordinary natures of fungi, revealing the remarkable facts of fungal biology and the global significance of these enchanting organisms. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1959 text provides a comprehensive guide to all the parasitic fungi which have been reported on cultivated plants in Great Britain, the diseases which they cause and the British literature on the subject. The first part of the book comprises an alphabetical list of the scientific and common names of cultivated host plants, with all the fungus parasites recorded on each host listed alphabetically under the scientific name of the host. The second part list the parasites in alphabetical order and gives references to the place where each was first described, as well as to its compilation in Saccardo's Sylloge Fungorum and important British papers, and to well-known synonyms and imperfect stages. This will continue to be a useful reference book for plant pathologist and mycologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Genetics provides the latest information on the rapidly evolving field of genetics, presenting new medical breakthroughs that are occurring as a result of advances in our knowledge of the topic. The book continually publishes important reviews of the broadest interest to geneticists and their colleagues in affiliated disciplines, critically analyzing future directions, This thematic volume focuses on the advances and the future potential of the rapidly growing field of entomopathogenic fungi. With a focus on the genetics and molecular biology behind the progress, techniques developed to study all aspects of these fungi will be highlighted, and topics will span from systematics of fungi to how a fungus infects an insect and how that insect responds. Critically analyzes future directions for the study of clinical genetics Written and edited by recognized leaders in the field Presents new medical breakthroughs that are occurring as a result of advances in our knowledge of genetics

Book excerpt: This book includes the author's interesting scientific finding that reverses the present research conclusion about how to traditionally inhibit the tumor growth and her own experiments and testimonies on parasitic fungi. This book is written for healthy families who wish to consciously stay healthy or take care of patients; for unhealthy families and patients who are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases or who struggle with their unknown illnesses; for litigants who were forced to abandon their houses due to mold invasions; for healthcare providers who failed to find a cause of patients' illnesses; and for personal injury or medical malpractice lawyers who are representing ill clients who are struggling with "The Most Common, The Most Deadly" fungal infections. This book is introduced as a landmark to inspire people including cancer patients and healthcare providers about the anciently misdiagnosed illness "Cancer," which is caused by parasitic fungi, is misdiagnosed as flu or a cold in the beginning, and is erroneously treated with wrong medications in the middle of the progress only to discover that the cancer is treated by antifungal medications in the end. This book is intended to educate readers about parasitic fungi that mutate fungal genes to survive in the hosts yielding cancerous cells and that the parasitic fungi are the cause of autoimmune diseases. The main goal of this book is to help children and families who are left behind without treatments under the guise of a false psychological theory "Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (faking illness)." This book is intended to enlighten readers about risks of parasitic fungi that destruct health, homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and further family relationships, and that construct expensive lawsuits, social distrusts, unnecessary public and medical expenses and secondary victims. This book is aimed at past, present, and future patients who are programmed to fail to get a medical help for early cancer test and treatment under the present insurance policies, immunity laws, and medical malpractice laws that govern millions of health insurance policyholders, healthcare providers, and government-funded medical facilities. The author discusses why GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) Vitamins cause antifungal and antibiotic resistances and why GMO Vitamins may initiate or exacerbate autoimmune diseases. This book discusses "causes and effects" and "possible treatments" of autoimmune diseases that are caused by an untreated fungal infection. This book explains why the early signs of autoimmune diseases are neglected either by patients or by healthcare providers, how autoimmune diseases are initiated by a fungal mutation, why the autoimmune diseases respond to antifungal agents, and how curable diseases turn to incurable diseases. This book explains why fungal disruptions in human metabolisms result in "the various names of illnesses" in the beginning and "autoimmune diseases" in the end. This book suggests that a high level of LDL Cholesterol (known as bad Cholesterol) of patients may be a consequence of chronic and acute fungal infections and the LDL Cholesterol may be a fungal sterol that was horizontally transferred from the parasitic fungi that mutate their genes in the hosts to survive from the hosts' antibodies. This book explains how harmful acids are produced when parasitic fungi are hosted by humans and animals, how alcohol (fungal urine) and tobaccos may chemically make more Ergosterol or Lanosterol in the hosts and how patients can repair their damaged cells. This book explains how cancer tumors and cysts can be treated and how female patients can resume their menopause and become pregnant. This book is not a substitute of a medical diagnosis or a prescription to treat their illness.
