5.0 out of 5 stars
The Coelomycetes reviewed by E.W.A. Boehm,
By Marina Shapiro (Fresno, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Coelomycetes (Cabi Publishing) (Hardcover)
I have had this book for a number of years now and, although published quite some time ago, this text is still THE definitive taxonomic source for this group of asexual microfungi commonly producing fructifications of some sort. I would not recomend this book for the novice, however, due to the nature of the taxonomic keys which require careful observation with a compound microscope and proper stains. Although it is profusely illustrated, a beginier will not likely be able to identify his/her collection without a thorough understanding of condiogenesis in general and more specifically conidiogenesis as this relates to this group of fungi. However, I would recomend the book for plant pathologists, for example, who have a name on their collection based on host substrate, but want more information (i.e., original description, literature etc.). Although a very difficult group of fungi to identify (determining conidiogenesis within acervuli is a task unto itself!) this text still represents the authoritative bible of the group.
