Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Aimed at all mycologists working in a diagnostic setting, this book helps laboratory workers identify fungal pathogens under the microscope by their morphology and other readily identifiable features. While the book is not intended to be a text in mycology, it nonetheless enjoys a considerable popularity as a supplementary text because of its utility.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 263-267) and index.
Part I Guides: Guide to interpretation of direct microscopic examination of clinical specimens -- Guide to identification of fungi in culture -- Part II Detailed descriptions: Filamentous bacteria -- Yeasts and Yeastlike organisms -- Thermally dimorphic fungi -- Thermally monomorphic molds -- Part III Laboratory technique: Laboratory procedures -- Staining methods -- Media.
