Virtual reality and the real world begin to blur as Declan/Dustin takes on a dangerous new enemy in the epic second book of this fantasy-adventure series. Escaping his broken-down reality for a simulated world was never Declan's thing-until he got pulled into an MMORPG unlike any other and became Dustin the Magic Myconid. Now, with several quests completed and a few levels under his belt, he's ready to explore the world of Indiri and form a Mercenary Guild with his real-world friend Matt, aka Noam the Tiefling Bard. Only, their journey gets off to a very rough start. Almost immediately, their train is derailed, and they-along with the odd assortment of riffraff who've joined their guild-are forced to stop in a seemingly quiet town. Soon, the members of their group begin disappearing, one by one, leaving behind nothing but unexplained wounds to the persons of those who are left. Before it's too late, Dustin and Noam must figure out who or what is attacking them. Because the more invested they become in this virtual land, the more their flesh-and-blood existences are tied to what happens here . . . Combining the very best of fantasy tropes with tabletop gaming, unforgettable characters, and mind-bending AI, They Met in a Tavern is the thrilling continuation of an epic adventure. The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series-with more than 500,000 views on Royal Road-now available on Audible and wherever ebooks are sold!

This textbook discusses "mycoagroecology," the emerging practice of cultivating fungal partners and products alongside plants in the agroecological systems to improve sustainability, food quality and yield while reducing instance of pests and reliance on artificial inputs.

This new edition continues the unique approach of examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how fungi have adapted to survive within particular constraints, how they help to maintain homeostasis in ecosystems, how they facilitate resistance to perturbations, and how they influence the communities of ot

This fourth edition addresses many of the questions related to the observations, characterizations, and functional attributes of fungal assemblages and their interaction with the environment and other organisms.

The first source to unite secondary fungal metabolism and morphogenesis in one volume, Secondary Metabolism and Differentiation in Fungi treats biological systems as parts of a whole rather than as a series of individual elements, highlighting research in genetics, molecular biology, and ecology. Featuring the expertise of 19 international authorit

The first book to explore the implications of symbiosis defensive compounds in drug and natural product discovery, Defensive Mutualism in Microbial Symbiosis includes basic ecology and biological information on defensive mutualisms, explores how they function, and evaluates how they have evolved. It expands the concept of defensive mutualisms to evaluate defense against environmental abiotic and biotic stresses, and includes chapters on defensive mutualistic associations involving multiple kingdoms of organisms in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems--plant, animal, fungi, bacteria, and protozoan.

This fourth edition addresses many of the questions related to the observations, characterizations, and functional attributes of fungal assemblages and their interaction with the environment and other organisms.

This new edition continues the unique approach of examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how fungi have adapted to survive within particular constraints, how they help to maintain homeostasis in ecosystems, how they facilitate resistance to perturbations, and how they influence the communities of other organisms. It contains substantial expansions to previous material, including discussions of new molecular techniques of metagenomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in understanding fungal functions and a new section on fungi in the built environment.

A guide to the combined use of classical and molecular methods for the genetic analysis and breeding of fungi. It presents basic concepts and experimental designs, and demonstrates the power of fungal genetics for applied research in biotechnology and phytopathology. It includes case studies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans.

Contains ten articles that provide an overview of the flowering research into the genetics and molecular biology of fungus species that are economically significant in industry. This work reports on work in such areas as industrial enzymes, antibiotics and toxins.

Presents advances in the study of the intracellular fate and transport of metal ions in fungi, emphasizing the mechanisms that regulate cellular concentration. This book explains the relationship between molecular genetics and inorganic biochemistry.

Offers information on the biotechnological potential of entomopathogenic fungi and ergot alkaloids, applications of Trichoderma in disease control, and the development of mycoherbicides. This work covers topics including fungal control of nematodes, production of edible fungi, fermented foods and high-value products like mycoprotein.

Offers the developments from the frontiers of fungal biochemical and molecular processes and industrial and semi-industrial applications of fungi. This title highlights the need for the integration of a number of scientific disciplines and technologies in modern fungal biotechnology.

Fungi are now at the forefront of research on mechanisms in gene silencing, biological rhythm, mating processes, and speciation, among other areas. Following in the footsteps of its highly praised predecessor, this book continues to be a comprehensive review of the state of our knowledge about how fungi function. It presents the latest information on fungal biology generated through the application of genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. This accessible book covers such topics as scavenging and nutrient cycling, DNA-based identification, and circadian rhythms in fungi. Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition includes new chapters and a glossary.

Jose Ruiz-Herrera's classic monograph Fungal Cell Wall: Structure, Synthesis and Assembly guided a generation of researchers in both basic and applied science who worked with fungal systems. This revision is the first up-to-date review of the fungal cell wall since the original publication in 1992. The importance of the cell wall in the growth, morphogenesis, and evolution of the Kingdom Fungi has been magnified due to the important experimental evidence accumulated since 1992. Applicable to students, professors, and researchers, this book gathers and discusses in detail all this information, which has not been critically reviewed and synthesized thus far.

Explores the scope of food mycology. This book discusses post-harvest problems including fungal infection of living crops and techniques used to detect a fungal invasion. It addresses the fungal spore as an important vehicle for fungi distribution and presents a coverage of mycotoxins, fungi as hyperproducers of enzymes, and fungal spoilage.

Presents an overview of advances in industrial mycology. This handbook provides a framework of basic methods, tools, and organizational principles for channeling fungal germplasm into the academic, pharmaceutical, and enzyme discovery laboratories.

Details information on techniques for isolating, culturing, and identifying soil and seed fungi. This book presents the results of the author's soil-borne plant disease studies, including pathological and mycological aspects. It features emphasis on basidiomycetous fungi, colonies of fresh agar cultures, and dried specimens.

Anemones and fish, ants and acacia trees, fungus and trees, buffaloes and oxpeckers - each of these unlikely duos is an inimitable partnership in which the species' coexistence is mutually beneficial. This book includes ecological and biological information on defensive mutualisms, explores how they function, and evaluates how they have evolved.

Considers biological systems as parts of a whole rather than as a series of individual elements, highlighting research in genetics, molecular biology, and ecology. This book facilitates the application of novel techniques to problems in molecular mycology and explores potentials for research. It is suitable for biologists and chemists.

The Aspergilli are an important group of filamentous fungi that include many species that impact humans. This book provides a comprehensive analysis that reveals the main biological attributes of these species. It compares the metabolic abilities among different Aspergillus species with other species.

Offers information on anaerobic fungi from a number of different disciplines. This reference examines the taxonomy, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and ecology of anaerobic fungi.
