Revised and updated in accordance with changing undergraduate course r equirements, this new edition continues to provide a concise introduct ion to the fundamental properties and activities of fungi in their nat ural environment. This approach avoids the repetition of taxonomy and life cycle studies found in similar texts. The environmental perspecti ve used to illustrate the book helps readers develop their understandi ng of basic principles. This is the ideal book for students taking int roductory mycology courses and for graduates starting to use fungi in their research.

The nutrition of a vegetative fungal colony can be viewed as a web of interconnected processes. In this volume, the author provides a mechanistic basis to the subject, focusing on processes at the plasma membrane, considering the modulating effects of the fungal wall and describing the fate of nutrients entering the fungus. The major emphasis is physiological, but biomechanical and molecular biological information has been drawn upon as appropriate to reflect the power of the multifaceted approach and encourage such further study. A comprehensive review of what is known for the more commonly studied fungal species is complemented by information on other fungi to provide an indication of the diversity of nutritional processes that exist in the fungal kingdom.
