Hazard identification in each experiment as well as accuracy and analysis make certain the students develop sound practical skills in line with the goal of enhancing the study of fungal biology. For method standardisation both in academic and industrial mycollogy, this manual provides step-by-step protocols, objectives of each of the steps and linked demo videos for reinforcement. Be it keying out mushrooms; screening biological activity; or growing fungi for commodity production; this book provides the required hands and heads to engage the profession and science of mycology.
