Summary "Keys to Fungi on Dung" by M. J. Richardson and Roy Watling is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. This work serves as an identification guide for coprophilous fungi, providing keys and detailed descriptions useful for researchers, teachers, and mycology enthusiasts. It offers insights into the ecological role and diversity of fungi that grow on dung, with updated nomenclature and reference to additional species. The opening of this book introduces the subject of coprophilous fungi and highlights their importance for demonstrating ecological diversity and morphology. It provides practical advice on how to collect and incubate dung samples for fungal growth, focusing on optimal conditions for observing and identifying these organisms. Detailed methods regarding the use of various containers for incubation and the importance of avoiding anaerobic conditions are emphasized, setting the stage for the identification keys that follow.
