About This Book

This introduction surveys the microscopic fungi found on living plants, describing their structures, life cycles, and classification while guiding amateur microscopists in observation and identification. Chapters treat cluster-cups, spermogones, dimorphism, mildews, brands, smuts, rusts (including white rusts), moulds, and white mildews, and offer practical suggestions for collection and microscopy. An appendix supplies formal classifications and species descriptions for the orders discussed, and numerous figures illustrate typical forms and diagnostic features to aid field and laboratory study.

About the Author

Cooke, M. C. portrait

M. C. Cooke

M. C. Cooke was a notable figure in the field of mycology, contributing significantly to the understanding of fungi through his writings. He is best known for his works such as "Fungi: Their Nature and Uses" and "Rust, Smut, Mildew, & Mould: An Introduction to the Study of Microscopic Fungi," which explore the diverse roles and characteristics of fungi in nature. Additionally, Cooke authored "The Seven Sisters of Sleep," a popular history that examines various narcotics and their effects. His contributions have enriched the study of both fungi and the cultural implications of narcotics, making him a significant figure in 19th-century scientific literature.
