This interactive DVD-ROM is a continuation of the Mycology Vol.
1
DVD-ROM on lower fungi and shows typical examples of the Ascomycota and
Basidiomycota both in video clips (summarized in 179 chapters) and approximately 270 slides. Both classes of fungi are described generally by their characteristic properties. The organisms are presented according to taxonomic principles, followed by a detailed description of the individual species, its development and reproduction.
With about 1.5 million species estimated to exist worldwide, members of the kingdom Fungi represent one of the largest biodiversity resources of our planet, fulfilling crucial ecological roles especially in terrestrial ecosystems. Fungi are also one of the most diverse groups or organisms in terms of taxonomy, morphology and life cycles. These aspects are covered in Mycology Vol. 1 and Mycology Vol. 2, the long-awaited second edition of the original videodiscs published in 1990-1994.
Mycology Vol. 2 includes typical representatives of
the two Divisons of "Higher Fungi" - the Ascomycota and
Basidiomycota. Both are very large groups with many examples of fungi of
economic significance, e.g., plant and animal pathogens, mycorrhizal symbionts,
agents of decay and industrial fermentations, sources of food and as subjects
for scientific research. The video clips include many spectacular
time-lapse sequences, e.g., fungal growth and spore puffing. The contents
of Mycology Vol.1 and Mycology Vol.2 have been extensively rearranged following a
modern taxonomic framework.
A well-structured menu facilitates easy access to all sequences and images at
the click of a button. These interactive DVD-ROMs will be
indispensable teaching tools for university classes as well as adult education
classes, high schools, natural history societies and other groups of people
interested in the exciting and mysterious world of the fungi.
