are vital to life on our planet for their contributions to the nutrient cycle.
Eye-catching graphics and stimulating narratives explain how members of the
Fungi kingdom are divided, show representative organisms from each phyla,
explore typical fungal structures, and offer interesting insight to the uses and
contributions made by fungi. Animated sequences vividly depict extracellular
digestion, asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction by the process of
conjugation and more.
