Myco

Myco refers to anything related to fungi, including yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. In scientific and medical contexts, "myco" often appears as a prefix to describe fungal aspects—such as mycology (the study of fungi), mycotoxins (toxins produced by fungi), or mycoses (fungal infections). Fungi are a distinct kingdom of organisms vital for ecosystems, breaking down organic matter, but some can cause health issues in humans and animals. Understanding myco helps in diagnosing, treating, and preventing fungal-related diseases, as well as exploring fungi's roles in industry, food, and medicine.
