St. Paul, Minn. (February 2016)—Combine images and information has been a recognized learning tool since grade school. APS PRESS applies this age-old tool to the collegiate level with Mycology Guide: Key Terms and Concepts, Second Edition.
This latest edition of the popular title presents the latest illustrated classifications of major fungi phyla along with a list of key information on these fungi and their related groups.
Each classification provides an overall hierarchical structure of the phylum to the order and sometimes to the family level, facilitating a top-down visual approach to learning. Each order features an illustration, a list of representative genera and a list of key characteristics in the areas of ecology, structure, morphology, reproduction, life cycle, genetics, cell ultrastructure, pathology, and biochemistry.
Mycology Guide: Key Terms and Concepts, Second Edition is four times the length of the previous version. The 36 laminated mycology reference cards in this easy-to-use collection serve as a helpful study and diagnostic aid and specifically feature:
- Hundreds of mycology terms defined, as well as illustrations of key structures
- A new fungal phylogeny wheel and a phylogenetic tree to help users read and interpret ancestor-descendant evolutionary relationships between and among groups highlighted in the guide
- References and a helpful index
This title is perfect for students and enthusiasts looking to understand the complex world of mycology in a simple, easy-to-understand format.
