Abstract:
Color Atlas of Mycology is an up-to-date resource designed to assist pathologists and medical technologists in the laboratory identification of fungi using the most recent taxonomic classifications. The text includes more than 15 years of proficiency testing data to highlight diagnostic clusters of incorrect identifications and address conceptual classification issues. Building on the popular Mycology Benchtop Reference Guide, it is more comprehensive and complete, merging in vitro mycology (colonies on plated media/LPAB preparations)
