“This edition has a mixture of chapters, some of which are broad in scope and so will be of interest to a wide range of mycologists, while others focus on particular cases. With regard to plant pathogens, there is a fascinating account of the role of extracellular RNAs in overcoming the species boundary between a fungus and plant host … . Other contributions … in our understanding of aspects of particular diseases, especially ones facilitated by genomic and genetic studies.” (IMA Fungus, February 5, 2024)
