Media reviews
...an excellent beginning, with so little information on tropical fungi actually available...an excellent choice for those interested in tropical ecology or the distribution of fungi in tropical areas. J. Dawson, Choice "...highly useful and worthwhile volume...no other single source provides such an accurate, unbiased perspective on the fungi that are important in tropical areas." Steven L. Miller, Quarterly Review of Biology
