Summary
In revising the first edition, which was first published about ten years ago, I have taken the opportunity to give a more complete account of the Myxomycota, and to give a more general introduction to the Eumycota. An account has also been given of some conidial fungi, as exemplified by aquatic Fungi Imperfecti, nematophagous fungi and seed-borne fungi. The taxonomic framework has been based on Volumes IVA and IVB of Ainsworth, Sparrow and Sussman's The Fungi: An Advanced Treatise (Academic Press, 1973).
