Description: "This book is a first attempt to bring together information on the biodiversity of microfungi in the tropics, with emphasis on the ascomycetes and deuteramycetes. Microfungi in the tropics are relatively unknown, yet they probably constitute the majority of the world's fungi. By presenting comprehensive, timely and truly international reviews of important groups of tropical microfungi, this volume provides an important baseline for future studies on fungal diversity. The aim is to stimulate interest into the fungi in the tropics and illustrate the variety, importance and potential use of these exceptional organisms."--BOOK JACKET.
