A richly illustrated natural history of fungiOccupying an entire kingdom of their own, fungi comprise over 155,000 species that include yeasts, rusts, and molds as well as the more familiar mushrooms and toadstools that we see in the wild and on our plates. Found widely across the globe, they represent a diverse group of organisms, some living freely in soil and water, and others forming parasitic or symbiotic relationships with plants, algae, and animals. This book presents a broad and accessible overview of fungal diversity, evolution, and ecology.
