Nearly ubiquitous in nature, highly adaptable, and a vital component to many natural processes and human activities, fungi are now at the forefront of research on mechanisms in gene silencing, biological rhythm, mating processes, biogenesis of intracellular organelles, adaptations to hostile habitats, structure of natural populations, and speciation. This book provides a gentle introduction to beginning research workers and professionals working with fungi. In fourteen self-contained chapters, the author demonstrates fungi in natural situations, how they can be used to understand complex biological questions, and describes the design of the experiments done to obtain this information.
