Reviews
[T]he synthesis and distillation of such a huge volume of information in disparate publications achieved here represents a major scholarly achievement, and the author is to be congratulated on covering a field that few would contemplate tackling even as editors of multi-authored volumes. Further, he writes with both authority and passion. All mycologists involved in teaching, or requiring ammunition to argue the case for the importance of fungi, should obtain access to a copy. - David Hawksworth, Mycological Research, Jan. 2004 offers a lot of information on the subject, and will serve as a great source of information on fungi in ecosystems. ---Persoonia Journal
