mycology
Mycology is the scientific study of fungi, encompassing their classification, genetics, biochemistry, and interactions with other organisms. Within plant science, fungi play essential roles as both symbiotic partners—such as mycorrhizae that boost nutrient uptake in roots—and as pathogens that threaten crop health and agricultural yields. Understanding fungal biology also sheds light on the evolutionary history of photosynthetic organisms, since fungi share deep ecological ties with algae and land plants alike.
