I am no expert in fungi. However I need to identify few fungal growth on sabouraud agars. Are there any easy to read and recommended book that has both the culture growth images and the microscopic images? Thank you.
It is difficult to recommend you a book for that because it depends on which kind of fungi you have. You could use the Compendium of soil fungi (Domsch et al.) and the "Illustrated Genera of imperfect fungi (Barnett et al). Try first looking at spores or conidia production to have and idea about the possible Genus and then you can go more in detail with more specific taxonomic keys.
We can not use a book for identification of fungi!!! As you know there are many kinds of fungi that they are different. There are many books, articles or monographs for identifying of fungi. But for first time you can use from Illustrated Genera of imperfect fungi (Barnett et al. 1972) or Dematiaceous hyphomycetes (Ellis, 1971)...
Try this http://www.mycology.adelaide.edu.au/ e-book and online pics and tutorial available.
this one as well "Pictorial Atlas of Soil and Seed Fungi" ebook available, try to search it. http://www.crcnetbase.com/isbn/9781439804209 but not sure your university is subscribe to this or not.
Probably the main book for identification of genera of conidial fungi nowadays is "The Genera of Hyphomycetes" by Seifert et al. (2011). Details can be found here: http://www.apsnet.org/apsstore/shopapspress/Pages/51854.aspx. It includes a summary of the taxonomy and phylogeny (when known) of hundreds of anamorph genera, including phytopathogens, medically relevant fungi and saprophytes from soil, decaying plant material and other substrates. Great work and beautifully illustrated!!!
For dematiaceous fungi, there is no doubt that the most important reference books are those of MB. Ellis: Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes (1971) and More Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes (1976).
...and if you work on medical fungi, you should get a copy of "Atlas of Clinical Fungi" by de Hoog et al. The latest version is available on CD. It covers almost all fungi so far demonstrated as primary or opportunistic human pathogens.
