Mycoflora

Mycoflora refers to the diverse community of fungi, including molds, yeasts, and mushrooms, that naturally exist in the environment or on living and non-living surfaces. These fungi are important for ecological balance, aiding in decomposition and nutrient cycling. However, some mycoflora can be harmful if they contaminate food, water, or indoor air, potentially causing allergic reactions or infections. Understanding mycoflora helps in managing hygiene, food safety, and health, by identifying beneficial species and controlling or preventing the growth of pathogenic or spoilage fungi.
