Houbraken, U. Thrane, J.C. Frisvad and B. AndersenThis book is the second in the new <strong>CBS</strong> Lab<strong>or</strong>at<strong>or</strong>y Manual Series and is based on the seventh editionof INTRODUCTION TO FOOD AND AIRBORNE FUNGI. This new version, FOOD AND INDOORFUNGI, has been transf<strong>or</strong>med into a practical user’s manual to the most common micro-fungi foundin our immediate environment – on our food and in our houses. The layout of the book starts at thebeginning with the detection and isolation of food b<strong>or</strong>ne fungi and indo<strong>or</strong> fungi in chapters 1 and 2,describing the different sampling techniques required in the different habitats. Chapter 3 deals withthe three different approaches to identification: m<strong>or</strong>phology, genetics and chemistry. It lists cultivationmedia used f<strong>or</strong> the different genera and describes step by step how to make microscope slides andtape preparations f<strong>or</strong> m<strong>or</strong>phological identification. The chapter also describes how to do molecularand chemical identification from scratch, how to evaluate the results and warns about pitfalls.Chapter 4 gives all the identification keys, first f<strong>or</strong> the maj<strong>or</strong> phyla (Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetesand Zygomycetes) common on food and indo<strong>or</strong>s, then to the different genera in the Zygomycetes andthe Ascomycetes, with a large section on the anam<strong>or</strong>phic fungi and a section f<strong>or</strong> yeasts. The sectionon anam<strong>or</strong>phic fungi contains two keys to the different genera: a dichotomous key and a synoptic key.F<strong>or</strong> each genus a key to the <strong>species</strong> treated is provided, followed by entries on the different <strong>species</strong>.F<strong>or</strong> each <strong>species</strong> colour plates are accompanied by macro- and a micro-m<strong>or</strong>phological descriptions,inf<strong>or</strong>mation on molecular and chemical identification markers, production of mycotoxins, habitatsand physiological and ecological characteristics. The book is concluded with an extensive referencelist and appendices on the associated mycobiota on different food types and indo<strong>or</strong> environments,mycotoxins and other secondary metabolites, a glossary on the mycological terms used in the bookand lastly a detailed appendix on the media used f<strong>or</strong> detection and identification.<strong>CBS</strong> · <strong>KNAW</strong> · Fungal Biodiversity Centre Utrecht, The NetherlandsAn institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences390 pp., fully illustrated with colour pictures (A4 f<strong>or</strong>mat).

Samson (eds)This book is the first in the new “<strong>CBS</strong> Lab<strong>or</strong>at<strong>or</strong>y Manual Series”, and focuses on techniques f<strong>or</strong>isolation, cultivation, molecular and m<strong>or</strong>phological study of fungi and yeasts. It has been developedas a general text, which is based on the annual mycology course given at the <strong>CBS</strong>-<strong>KNAW</strong> FungalBiodiversity Centre (Centraalbureau vo<strong>or</strong> Schimmelcultures). It provides an introduct<strong>or</strong>y text tosystematic mycology, starting with a concise treatise of Hyphochytridiomycota and Oomycota, whichhave long been subject of study by mycologists, but are now classified in the Kingdom Chromista.These are followed by sections on the groups of “true fungi”: Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota,Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. This descriptive part is illustrated by figures of life-cycles andschematic line-drawings as well as photoplates depicting most of the structures essential f<strong>or</strong> the studyand identification of these fungi. Special attention is given to basic principles of w<strong>or</strong>king with axeniccultures, good m<strong>or</strong>phological analysis, and complicated issues f<strong>or</strong> beginners such as conidiogenesisand the understanding of life-cycles. Exemplar taxa f<strong>or</strong> each of these fungal groups, in total 37mostly common <strong>species</strong> in various economically imp<strong>or</strong>tant genera, are described and illustrated indetail. In a chapter on general methods a number of basic techniques such as the preparation andchoice of media, microscopic examination, the use of stains and preparation of permanent slides,and herbarium techniques are explained. Further chapters deal with commonly used molecularand phylogenetic methods and related identification tools such as BLAST and DNA Barcoding,fungal nomenclature, ecological groups of fungi such as soil-b<strong>or</strong>ne and root-inhabiting fungi, watermoulds, and fungi on plants and of quarantine imp<strong>or</strong>tance. Some topics of applied mycology are alsotreated, including fungi in the air- and indo<strong>or</strong> environment and fungi of medical imp<strong>or</strong>tance. Commonmycological terminology is explained in a glossary, with reference to illustrations in the book. Achapter providing m<strong>or</strong>e than 60 mycological media f<strong>or</strong> fungal cultivation, and a comprehensive list ofcited references are also provided. The book is concluded with an index, and dendrograms reflectingour current understanding of the evolutionary relationships within the Fungi.270 pp., fully illustrated with colour pictures (A4 f<strong>or</strong>mat).
