The study of fungi is known as mycology. Mycology encompasses the exploration of various fungi species, their biology, ecology, and potential uses. This field includes research on mushrooms, molds, yeasts, and other fungi, which play vital roles in various ecosystems. Mycologists investigate fungi's contributions to decomposing organic matter, forming symbiotic relationships with plants, and producing antibiotics and other medicinal compounds. Additionally, mycology has applications in food production, biotechnology, and environmental science. As fungi are integral to nutrient cycling, understanding their biology and ecological significance is essential for both natural and human-altered environments.
