Mycology

Mycology is a science that deals with the study of fungi and classification, biology, ecology, and its role in health. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, ranging from microscopically small yeasts to large, macroscopically appreciated mushrooms. They play an important role as decomposers, symbionts, and pathogens. Mycology is very important in medicine due to the fact that certain fungi are etiological agents of infections, such as mycoses, particularly dangerous in immunocompromised hosts.
