"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 that cause disease in humans and other animals.
"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."
- Genetic and biochemical properties of fungi - Taxonomy of fungi - Use of fungi by humans - Dangers associated with fungi
