Ecophysiology of Fungi

This advanced undergraduate textbook examines major aspects of fungal physiology in relation to fungal behaviour in natural habitats and, in so doing, provides a firm link between the divergent disciplines of fungal physiology and fungal ecology. A largely mechanistic approach is made within selected areas of fundamental importance. The themes are the functional interaction of the fungus with its abiotic and biotic environment and the reconciliation of laboratory studies with observations made under natural conditions.

R. C. Cooke and J. M. Whipps are the authors of Ecophysiology of Fungi, published by Wiley.
