Advances in Macrofungi

<p>Advances in Macrofungi: Diversity Ecology and Biotechnology discusses the diversity and ecology of edible toxic medicinal and mycorrhizal macrofungi; the impact of ectomycorrhizal fungi in terrestrial ecosystems ectomycorrhizal complex in Boreal forests and commercial application of Pseudotsuga in silviculture; the nutritional evaluation and cultivation of edible wild mushrooms; the diversity of novel metabolites of macrofungi useful in food pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries; mushrooms as tool for eco-friendly synthesis of nanoparticles and proteomics of edible and medicinal mushrooms. In addition it covers experimental designs methodological approaches biogeochemical cycles conceptual/hypothetical models and life history strategies linking mycorrhizal diversity to plant performance chemotaxonomy role of mycorrhizae in forestry and macrofungi in nanotechnology. It provides a valuable resource to graduate post-graduate and researchers (in botany microbiology ecology biotechnology forestry life sciences and environmental sciences) to understand the diversity ecology therapeutic value mutualistic associations and biotechnological potential of macrofungi.</p><p></p>
