"The Catalogue of Fungi of Colombia is the first comprehensive listing of the known Colombian funga. Compiled by a team of Colombian and international mycologists from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Humboldt Institute and numerous partner institutions, it consolidates expert-generated information linked and accessible through an online portal (ColFungi). The checklist is accompanied by 15 chapters written by specialists, providing perspectives on the state of knowledge on the Colombian funga, covering a range of topics, from the diversity of the main groups of fungi and the history of Colombian fungi and their presence in national and international biological collections. The Catalogue is further enriched by diverse supplementary material, allowing users to explore further open questions and opportunities, to develop new ideas on the use of fungi and their conservation, and to foster social and environmental awareness."--Back cover

In order to feed the world, global agriculture will have to double food production by 2050. As a result, the use of soils with fertilizers and pesticides in agronomic ecosystems will increase, taking into account the sustainability of these systems and also the provision of food security. Thus, soil ecosystems, their health, and their quality are directly involved in sustainable agronomical practices, and it is important to recognize the important role of soil microbial communities such as mycorrhizal fungi, their biodiversity, interactions, and functioning. Soil ecosystems are under the threat of biodiversity loss due to an increase of cultivated areas and agronomic exploitation intensity. ...
Each issue to contain material in each of seven subject fields: botany, forestry research, environmental sciences, phytochemistry, tropical medicine, zoology and technology.
A unique book dealing with all aspects of the production-consumption system of edible, functional, and medicinal mushrooms in Latin American countries, covering basic, applied and socioeconomic research, as well as commercial experiences on a large and small scale. The increasing potential of mushrooms in this region of enormous cultural, biological, and ecological diversity is discussed in 31 chapters. Relevant experiences from other regions worldwide were selected for discussion. English abstracts are included in every chapter.
