5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate pratical reference to teach yourself mycology, July 9, 2000

This is a well organized and written reference that makes sense of the arcane world of fungal names and nomenclature. I am a veterinary dermatology resident and from one careful reading of this book I was able identify the most common pathogenic and contaminant fungi. I recommend this book to the any health professional or student who needs to learn and more important understand and identify medically relevant fungal organisms. I wish all of my textbooks were this clear. If I had to choose one reference for mycology, this would be it. Bravo!!!

Good shipping procedure. Pictures are mostly black and white. I wish they were in color. Extra writing in book does not obscure diagrams.

This is a book that helps and guides the scientist in the identification of medical fungi important to human disease. Even though it is intended for the beginner, it also serves as a refresher for the more experienced. The script is clear and to the point, drawings and pictures making a visble statement. The colour plates of various fungi is an important aid in identification as most laboratories have to rely on microscopy and colonial appearance only. The common and the not so common fungi are described and the exam activities after each section provide the reader with a good indication of the knowledge gained. To be recommended as a study guide.
