This book addresses the challenge that the exceptional diversity of tropical fungi present to taxonomists, biochemists, molecular biologists, ecologists, and pathologists. The significance of the many tropical species and ectomycorrhizal associations in nutrient cycling in rainforests, desert ecosystems and aquatic habitats is considered, together with an evaluation of the potential of such fungi in the production of commercially useful, novel metabolites.

Review
"...an excellent beginning, with so little information on tropical fungi actually available...an excellent choice for those interested in tropical ecology or the distribution of fungi in tropical areas." J. Dawson, Choice
"...highly useful and worthwhile volume....no other single source provides such an accurate, unbiased perspective on the fungi that are important in tropical areas." Steven L. Miller, Quarterly Review of Biology
"...highly useful and worthwhile volume....no other single source provides such an accurate, unbiased perspective on the fungi that are important in tropical areas." Steven L. Miller, Quarterly Review of Biology
Book Description
The conservation of tropical habitats is of great current concern. This book is the first to addresses the challenge which the exceptional diversity of tropical fungi present to taxonomists, biochemists, molecular biologists, ecologists, conservationists and pathologists alike. The role of many tropical species and ectomycorrhizal associations in nutrient cycling in rainforests, desert ecosystems and aquatic habitats is considered, together with an evaluation of the potential of such fungi in the production of commercially useful, novel metabolites.
