This reference book includes 24 chapters written by a group of experts in the different fields of microfungi and cover a broad range of topics on microfungi.
"Each chapter is extremely well documented, and many include excellent photographs. This compendium is a valuable source of current information on a wide range of mycological research topics applicable for professionals in numerous fields. ... The volume is imperative because many works about fungi typically do not focus on microfungi. The title should be available in college and university libraries that support teaching and research in the biological sciences. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals and practitioners." (K. M. Foos, Choice, Vol. 54 (2), October, 2016) "The whole is well-edited and presented, and it was pleasing to see coloured illustrations in the chapters ... . All major mycological libraries will benefit from a copy ... ." (IMA Fungus, Vol. 7 (1), June, 2016)

This book principally covers the latest development of research on microfungi from both systematic and practical aspects. Microfungi are in our daily life, but we normally do not realize their presence. Without microfungi we would not be able to enjoy our baked food, fermented food, preserved food, alcoholic beverages, and access to some modern medication, such as penicillin and cyclosporine, which are secondary metabolites of microfungi. Recent advances in mycology presented in this book will be useful to identify the needs in mycological research and to determine the direction or niches for future research.
