Book excerpt: This book is the result of a preliminary study of the polypore flora of Kerala mainly for a period of five years from 1983-1987. Must effort in the form of field work and laboratory work have gone into it along with exhaustive coverage of literature. Though this is primarily a study of the polypore flora of Kerala State, a good number of species recorded from here are new reports for India. Therefore, besides being a regional flora, the present work adds considerably to our knowledge of the polypores of India. As reports of polyporaceous fungi from Kerala up to this time was only six species, this presentation may serve as a base on which future workers of Kerala on this interesting group of fungi can build up. The present work contains descriptions and illustrations of 80 species of polypores belonging to 32 genera of three families viz, Ganodermataceae, Hymenochaetaceae and Polyporaceae. The book also provides a brief summary of the history and classification of the three families and a review of literature on the subject including contributions of Indian workers. Keys are provided for families, genera and species. Full synonymy and author citation are quoted for each species. Detailed descriptions, drawings and collection data are also provided. With a few exceptions descriptions are based on fresh collections made by the authors from Kerala. Part of all collections are deposited in the Herbarium of the Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun (Herb FRI) and at the Herbarium Cryptogamme Indae Orientalis (Herb HCIO) of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Materials and methods, Physiography and vegetation of the region, Review of literature, Technical terms; Chapter 2: Systematic Account; Key to families, Introduction to families, Ganodermataceae, Hymenochaetaceae, Polyporaceae.

Download or read book Ascomycete Fungi of North America written by Michael Beug and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 75 percent of all fungi that have been described to date belong to the phylum Ascomycota. They are usually referred to as Ascomycetes and are commonly found and collected by mushroom enthusiasts. Ascomycetes exhibit a remarkable range of biodiversity, are beautiful and visually complex, and some, including morels and truffles, are highly prized for their edibility. Many play significant roles in plant ecology because of the mycorrhizal associations that they form. Thus it is remarkable that no book dedicated to describing and illustrating the North American Ascomycetes has been published in over sixty years. Filling the gap between technical publications and the limited representation of Ascomycetes in general mushroom field guides, Ascomycete Fungi of North America is a scientifically accurate work dedicated to this significant group of fungi. Because it is impossible to describe and illustrate the tens of thousands of species that occur in North America, the authors focus on species found in the continental United States and Canada that are large enough to be readily noticeable to mycologists, naturalists, photographers, and mushroom hunters. They provide 843 color photographs and more than 600 described species, many of which are illustrated in color for the first time. While emphasizing macroscopic field identification characteristics for a general audience, the authors also include microscopic and other advanced information useful to students and professional mycologists. In addition, a color key to the species described in this book offers a visual guide to assist in the identification process.
