Category:Cryptomycology

Cryptomycology (from the Greek: κρυπτός, kryptos, "hidden" + μύκης, mukēs, fungus + λογία, logia, "study"; roughly, "study of hidden fungus") is the study of fungal forms that have eluded scientific analysis and classification, and particularly specimens of such forms that are considered folkloric or legendary. The field is a counter-part to cryptobotany (plants) and cryptozoology (animals).
