👉 Fungology is a branch of botany that studies fungi, which are unicellular organisms. Fungi have complex structures and play important roles in ecosystems, including decomposition processes, nutrient cycling, and disease control. In this context, "fungology" typically refers to the study of fungi as they interact with other organisms in the environment, such as plants or animals. It involves understanding how fungi are able to adapt to different environments and influence their growth and development.
