Synopsis Fungi are Organisms with their assimilative structure made up of a much branched system of slender tubes knows as mycelium which usually grow in a radial manner from the point of origin if conditions are equal about the point Fungi theoretically produce spores reproduction. Such spores are the result of ace' and Nuclear fusion. However, under Cultural condition reproduction is by Means of se spores (conidia) which are the result of div of Cells of the mycelium.

Recognition of Soil fungi becomes an important Factor in the preservation of materials upon which spores of fungi start to grow and become1 the cause of spoilage. The number of these fungi is Large and their variety is extensive necessitating their proper Identification and recognition. The present book encompasses chiefly those Species of fungi which have been cultivated artificially on various types of Biological media.

The present book is highly useful for students, Teachers and Research scholars of Higher studies in botany, Microbiology and biochemistry.
