Mycology

Mycology is the study of fungi. This category covers mushroom identification, edible mushrooms and their toxic lookalikes, the most poisonous mushrooms, morels, chanterelles and oyster mushrooms, safe mushroom foraging and how to grow mushrooms at home. It also explains mycelium, the hidden fungal networks in soil, and how fungi feed, reproduce and shape ecosystems. Never eat a wild mushroom based on a photo or article alone.
