First published in 1943 and updated here from the 1995 edition, the dictionary provides an entry point to the accumulated knowledge on the major groups traditionally studied by mycologists, including lichens, mushrooms, slime moulds, water moulds, and yeasts. Three major concerns have informed the most recent edition: revising the classification of the Ascomycota based on recent ribosomal DNA and other data; revising Basidiomycota based on molecular studies to integrate the gastromycetous and hymanomycetous fungi into a single system; and integrating those fungi that are not known to produce sexual spores into the overall classification of the fungi. The eighth edition was cited in Walford's Guide to Reference Materials. Distributed in the US by Oxford U. Press. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
