Abstract

Mycological developments in India, like other colonial states, had great influence from British mycologists. A great deal of contribution has come from Edwin J. Butler before independence. In fact, it has been conveniently segregated as pre-Butler and post-Butler period to trace the development of mycology in India. Several active centres of mycology were then established. Early part of the nineteenth century was dominated by descriptive taxonomic research followed by fungal plant pathology. This was followed by physiological aspects and recently the biotechnological applications. Recent advances in molecular biology have complemented the biodiversity studies in addition to various other branches of mycology. These aspects are discussed in this chapter.
