Mushrooms have attracted the attention of human beings since the beginning of their existence. They contributed essentially to their needs of food and medicine and were even involved in fatal posioning; besides contributing to hallucinogenic rituals amongst certain tribes. However, in view of their apparent sudden appearance and ephemeral nature, a lot of legends and myths have developed around them over the ages. The mushrooms belong to a group of living organisms called fungi and have attracted increasing attention during the recent times as a source of nutritious and flavourful food with medicinal or tonic attributes and a useful role in environmental protection. Their scientific study, therefore is of great importance. This book, the first of two volumes, (second volume to be published at a later date) deals mainly with their enumeration, taxonomy and distribution. It is divided into two main parts - first part deals with biological features of fungi in general and second part introduces the readers to a systematic study of group called mushrooms; detailing their morphological features, collection methods and identification procedures. The book has been brought out in such a way that it is of use both to lay public and academic community.ISBN-8120411161
