Description

Volume 1A is the first of two introductory books to the Fungi of Australia series. The major component of the book is a discussion on the classification of the fungi, including a new classification to the level of Order, and keys (of world-wide scope) to orders devised by John Walker specifically for this series. The Walker classification is reproduced on the end papers of the introductory volume. The volume also includes chapters on the biology of the fungi, the Australian aspects of the history of mycology, biogeography and the fossil record, and an extensive glossary to mycological terms. These essays summarise the state of our knowledge at the outset of the project, and will undoubtedly serve as basic references for many years to come.

Six authors, five artists and seven photographers have contributed to this volume. Many institutional and historical photographs have also been used.

The companion book, Volume 1B, contains introductory chapters on aspects of the fungi in their different habitats, and the impacts of fungi on humans, all with an emphasis on the Australian mycota.
