- Course objectives
- This course follows the basic system (of lower plants, in 1st year), complements the lecture of general mycology and mycological practice. Relations of fungi to the environment and other organisms (saprotrophy, symbioses, parasitism), distribution and protection of fungi, important fungi for man (positive or negative).
Main objectives can be summarized as follows:
learning of relations of fungi with another groups of organisms or abiotic environment;
theoretical essentials and practical application of the protection of fungi;
getting knowledge about useful and harmful species or groups of fungi;
understanding of relationships (between ecology of fungi and their importance for man). - Syllabus
- Fungal ecology, relations to the environment factors.
- Saprotrophs and their substrates.
- Relations to other organisms, symbiosis, parasitism and pathogenic fungi.
- Occurrence in various habitats and distribution of fungi.
- Protection of fungi.
- Edible fungi and their growing, poisonous fungi and intoxications.
- Economically important fungi (utilized and harmful).
