The book Microfungi of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai (Maharashtra) presents a comprehensive document for understanding the Microfungal diversity in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The book deals with 223 species of Microfungi found in the national park on various substrates like litter, leaves, soil and water. The current knowledge on fungal classification and methodology adopted for collection, isolation, preservation, morpho-molecular characterization and identification have been elaborately discussed. All the species are described with morphomolecular characters and supplemented with photoplates prepared from microphotographs and scanning Electron Microscopic images. It is believed, this book will be helpful to the students, researchers, forest managers and the policy makers for understanding these microorganism. This book will also help in carrying out similar study from other part of our country.
