"This work, with a foreword by Professor G. L. Hennebert, explains, simply and pedagogically the bases of the modern classification of this group, with an illustrated key to identification of the genera that make up the group. The illustrations are supplemented by information on the number of species, ecology, and existence of sexual forms.".

"The work brings together for the first time the Hyphomycetes and Coelomycetes and is a useful guide for students and teachers of biology, researchers, and laboratory technicians - in the fields of medical and veterinary mycology, plant pathology, the food industry, and ecology - and even for amateurs dealing with this group."--BOOK JACKET.
