What is the study of fungi called?
Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy and their use to humans as a source for tinder, medicine, food, and entheogens, as well as their dangers, such as poisoning or infection. A biologist specializing in mycology is called a mycologist.

I knew it was mycology, but I think shroomolgoy would be a wonderful name for it too.

Jamie Dubois,
That would be "Myology", the study of muscles, their structure, functkon, disorders and diseases.
"Myocology" does not exist.
"Mycology" is the study of fungi.

Nailed it, thanks to help from the Allman Brothers. They released an album called Mycology. Just saying...

I have to say, I wanted to say "shroomology" because it made me laugh so hard!!! But I was good and clicked the correct answer . . .

Personally, I loved the word "shroomology". Whether or not it was correct, I chose it.

I had a boss in the restaurant I worked in. He was a “mycologist” he showed us where and how “Magic 🍄 Mushrooms” grew. Very helpful in identifying eatable ones. Best advice: Even if your staving and lost in the forest, don’t eat mushrooms, they have no useful protein and eating poison mushrooms is a long, painful 💀 death.
