Written and developed by an international team of specialists, this second edition contains updated information on all aspects of myxomycetes and incorporates relevant and new material on current barcoding developments, plasmodial network experimentation, and non-STEM disciplanary assimilation of myxomycete information. When considered in an integrated manner, myxomycetes have the potential of being expanded to include multiple disciplines of human knowledge, including serving as a source of substances with medical applications and even being used to produce biofuel--
