    Mycology

    "Environmental mycology covers issues in facilities that range from industrial settings where fungi impact manufacturing processes, to home and work environments where human health may be an issue. There currently is extensive interest in understanding the health implications of fungi in indoor environments. " (This link was checked on Dec. 2006Dr. Fungi
