"Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy and their use to humans, including as a source for tinder, traditional medicine, food, and entheogens, as well as their dangers, such as toxicity or infection."
The study of fungi.
Fungal Classification: The study of how fungi are classified based on their physical and genetic characteristics.
Fungal Morphology: The study of the physical characteristics of fungi, including their structure, form, and color.
Fungal Life Cycle: The study of the life cycle of fungi, including how they reproduce and how they grow.
Ecology of Fungi: The study of how fungi interact with their environment and other organisms.
Medical Mycology: The study of fungi that cause disease in humans and other animals.
Industrial Mycology: The study of how fungi are used in industry, such as in food production, pharmaceuticals, and bioremediation.
Fungal Genetics: The study of the genetic make-up of fungi and how this affects their physical characteristics and behavior.
Mycorrhizae: The study of the symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots and how this affects plant growth and nutrient uptake.
Fungal Pathology: The study of how fungi cause disease in plants and how this affects agriculture.
"A biologist specializing in mycology is called a mycologist."
"Mycology branches into the field of phytopathology, the study of plant diseases."
"The two disciplines remain closely related because the vast majority of plant pathogens are fungi."
