OverviewThis volume presents a collection of 13 essays providing a review of present knowledge, with references to the wider literature. It points to the gaps in knowledge, and indicates the necessity of continuing research in Australian mycology. The essays cover: freshwater fungi; marine fungi; plant parasitic fungi; associations between arthropods and fungi; gut-inhabiting fungi of Australian herbivores; mycoses and macrofungal poisoning of domestic and native animals; fungi as a food resource for mammals in Australia; aboriginal knowledge and use of fungi; macrofungi toxic to humans; fungi and mycotoxins in foods; and human mycoses.

However, these two volumes turn the corner in a monumental way, and promise a healthy future . . . .These two books taken in combination could successfully be used as textbooks for fungal teaching in not only Australia but elsewhere. --R. Watling, Edinburgh Journal of Botany Reviews of Volumes 1A and 1B: Volumes 1A and 1B are superb. In fact, they are really quasi textbooks of mycology, and for this reason alone they demand much use by non-taxonomists. --TAXON 48 I would heartily recommend them. There is no doubt that they will form a platform for further research of not only Australian but Australasian fungi and are an excellent introductory text to the mycology of Australasia. --New Zealand Journal of Botany . . .
