Book Description
Excerpt from Systematic Arrangement of Australian Fungi: Together With Host-Index and List of Works on the Subject There can be no doubt that many of the Fungi on our native vegetation will attack introduced plants, and it would be very desirable, both in the interests of science and of practical utility, to have a record of the Fungi preying upon our native plants. I have seen some of our richest soils with the decaying roots of Eucalypts and the mycelium of Fungi passing from them to the roots of orchard trees and causing their decay. The Host-index should serve various useful purposes. First of all, it will enable the intelligent grower to determine with some degree of certainty the cause of the disease when it is due to a Fungus, and that is often the first step towards its eradication. Thus, if his Peach trees are affected with some Fungus disease on the leaves, he turns up the Index and finds two Fungi recorded there. He then turns to the General Characters in the Systematic Arrangement and can easily tell whether it is the Peach-leaf Rust or the Leaf-curl. Or if his Cabbages and Cauliflowers begin to turn yellow and the roots become distorted, he finds from the Index that it is due to a Fungus, a knowledge of which enables him to battle with the disease. Having traced the disease to its source, he may find treatment already prescribed in some of the Government publications, or can apply to the Department for advice. If there is no record of the disease in the Index, then the grower knows it is a subject requiring investigation. Further, the Host-index may be used in assisting growers to spot diseases due to Fungi before they have spread too far and become established. A great many Fungus diseases are overlooked for a number of years and allowed to spread freely before active measures are taken for their suppression, and thus what might have been easily nipped in the bud is now difficult to eradicate; so that another important use of this publication will be to enable Fungus diseases to be recognised at the earliest possible moment and action taken accordingly.

Book Description
Fungi: Biology and Applications, Second Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of fungi, covering biochemistry, genetics and the medical and economic significance of these organisms at introductory level. With no prior knowledge of the subject assumed, the opening chapters offer a broad overview of the basics of fungal biology, in particular the physiology and genetics of fungi and also a new chapter on the application of genomics to fungi. Later chapters move on to include more detailed coverage of topics such as antibiotic and chemical commodities from fungi, new chapters on biotechnological use of fungal enzymes and fungal proteomics, and fungal diseases of humans, antifungal agents for use in human therapy and fungal pathogens of plants.
