"Fungi are thallophtes that have no green plant pigment. Their body is generally called thallus, is either a single cell or a thread like structure. We can distinguish several hundred fungus species by the naked eye, but this has its limitations.
This book is written to throw light on the world of microcosm lavishly abounding in extraordinary and aesthetically impressive forms opens before us." (jacket)
