"The present treatise contains papers focusing mainly on Volvariella, Auricularia and Pleurotus. We took the liberty in expanding discussions on these three important mushrooms cultivated in the tropics by augmenting the workshop" (Regional Workshop on the Cultivation of Edible Mushrooms held in 1980) "materials with invited papers. In this respect, we acknowledge the valuable help and contributions extended to us by a respected consultants and authorities from various parts of the world. Their ideas enlarged our perspective for presenting a concise, in-depth and integrative treatment of reference material intended for tropical mushroom growers and students alike." - from the preface
