Study of fungi:
Specimens are studied in one of the
two ways: those that cannot be grown under artificial conditions are studied
directly, and those that must or can be cultured or isolated are studied
indirectly.
1-Indirect study:
Many pathogens in plant material, soil and water must
first be isolated and obtained in pure culture before they can be studied.
These fungi are usually not visible to the unaided eye, although the disease
symptoms often are.
