The
following pages represent in a much extended form the lectures and laboratory
exercises given by the author before his botanic classes at the University of
Pennsylvania, and before public audiences else- where, especially, Farmers'
Institutes with which he has had three years' experience as a lecturer in
Pennsylvania. The arrangement of the text has been suggested by the needs
of the classroom and from an acquaintance with similar work in other colleges
and universities in America.
This note covers the following topics: Overview of Mycology, Classifications of Fungi, Laboratory Methods in Medical
Mycology, Techniques for Identification of Fungi, Laboratory ID, Saprophytes,
Yeasts, Bacteria, Types of mycoses based on body site and Systemic mycoses.
This lecture note will discuss what fungi are from a cultural,
ecological, phenotypic and phylogenetic perspective. It covers basic information
on life histories, systematics, ecology, genetics and cell biology of fungi.
