This book examines fungal associations as found in mycorrhizas, lichens and other fungal symbioses. The revised, updated second edition incorporates recent findings on molecular interaction between fungi and plants or bacteria, as a prerequisite for symbioses.

This new edition of Fungal Associations focuses on mycorrhizas, lichens and fungal-bacterial symbioses. It has been completely revised, updated and expanded. Renowned experts present thorough reviews and discuss the most recent findings on molecular interactions between fungi and plants or bacteria that lead to morphological alterations and novel properties in the symbionts. New insights into the beneficial impact of fungal associations on ecosystem health are provided and documented with striking examples.

A completely updated and revised new edition

Written by internationally renowned experts

A benchmark in mycology
