The discipline o biology devotit tae the studie o fungi is kent as mycology (frae the Greek μύκης, mukēs, meanin "fungus"). Mycology haes aften been regairdit as a brainch o botany, even tho it is its ain kinrick in biological taxonomy. Genetic studies haes shawn thit fungi is sibber tae ainimals nor tae plants.
