Freshwater Fungi : : and Fungal-like Organisms / / ed. by E. B. Gareth Jones, Kevin D Hyde, Ka-Lai Pang.

The available literature on freshwater fungi is limited. Over the subsequent years a considerable volume of scientific papers have appeared scattered throughout numerous journals. There is therefore no recent synthesis of the subject and this is the objective of the proposed book. Freshwater habitat...
