Approximately 75 percent of all fungi that have been described to date belong to the phylum Ascomycota. They are usually referred to as Ascomycetes and are commonly found and collected by mushroom enthusiasts. Ascomycetes exhibit a remarkable range of biodiversity, are beautiful and visually complex, and some, including morels and truffles, are highly prized for their edibility. Many play significant roles in plant ecology because of the mycorrhizal associations that they form. Thus it is remarkable that no book dedicated to describing and illustrating the North American Ascomycetes has been published in over sixty years. Filling the gap between technical publications and the limited representation of Ascomycetes in general mushroom field guides, Ascomycete Fungi of North America is a scientifically accurate work dedicated to this significant group of fungi. Because it is impossible to describe and illustrate the tens of thousands of species that occur in North America, the authors focus on species found in the continental United States and Canada that are large enough to be readily noticeable to mycologists, naturalists, photographers, and mushroom hunters. They provide 843 color photographs and more than 600 described species, many of which are illustrated in color for the first time. While emphasizing macroscopic field identification characteristics for a general audience, the authors also include microscopic and other advanced information useful to students and professional mycologists. In addition, a color key to the species described in this book offers a visual guide to assist in the identification process.

"Fungi that occur on dung are diverse and many are cosmopolitan. Collecting dung, incubating it in the lab, and then observing the succession of fungi is an enlightening laboratory exercise at any educational level. This book will be a boon for those wanting to identify the fungi that fruit on the dung. The late Major Harry Dade studied Australian dung fungi and the first chapter is an account of some of his mycological activities based on his diaries. His personal observations about taxa are included in the text along with additional observations made by the author. This book is a great introduction to the world of dung fungi and guide to their identification. This could be used for teaching the ecology of dung fungi at the undergraduate or graduate level, and for researchers studying biodiversity of fungi. It is beautifully illustrated with 115 black and white and color drawings and photos. This spiral bound paperback more than adequately serves it purpose as a guide to this interesting and diverse group of fungi."--pub. desc. This book is spiral bound and is a guide to identification of coprophilous fungi. Bell uses pictorial keys to aid the user in the identification of the fungi to class and genus. She then provides dichotomous keys to species with references to diagrams of key characters, like a pictorial glossary. All figures are drawn to the same scale for easy comparison of sizes.
