Glossary of mycology
This glossary of mycology is a list of definitions of terms and concepts relevant to mycology, the study of fungi. Terms in common with other fields, if repeated here, generally focus on their mycology-specific meaning. Related terms can be found in glossary of biology and glossary of botany, among others. List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names and Botanical Latin may also be relevant, although some prefixes and suffixes very common in mycology are repeated here for clarity.
A
- a-
- Prefix meaning "without" or "not".[1]
- aboospore
- An asexually-produced (parthenogenetic) oospore.[2]

- Elongated in shape with swellings and constrictions at intervals. Found, e.g., in mycelia of Torula.[379]
- trama
- 1. A layer of hyphae in the central part of an agaric running from the underside of the cap to the lamella, often supporting the hymenium. Sometimes called a hymenophoral trama to distinguish it from the second definition.
- 2. In old literature, any fleshy part of the pileus, although this use has since been discouraged.[380]
- trehalose
- A reserve sugar of fungi, especially yeasts and ergots, and lichens. Hydrolyzed by the enzyme trehalase.[381]
- tretic
- A form of blastic conidiogenesis. Each conidium (tretoconidium, porospore) is delimited via the inner wall of the conidiogenous cell.[382]
- trichospore
- A type of zygospore; a sporangia bearing a single spore. Usually coiled. Characteristic of the order Harpellales (formerly part of Trichomycetes).[383]
- troop
- A group of fruit bodies from a single mycelium.[384]
- truffle
- The edible, subterranean fruit (ascoma) of Tubers. Sometimes extended to "false truffles" as well such as Pezizales or Hymenogastrales.[385]
- truncate
- Ending abruptly, as if cut off. From Latin truncare, to maim.[386]
- tubercle
- A knob-like or wart-like excrescence.[387]
- tubercular
- Having tubercles.[388]
- tumid
- Swollen; inflated; e.g. of a stipe.[389]
- turgid
- Tightly swollen, e.g. from hydrostatic pressure of endosmosed water. From Latin turgidus, distended.[390]
U
- umbilicus
- In some foliose lichens (e.g. Umbilicaria), the central, strongly attaching organ of the thallus.[391]
- uniseriate
- Arranged in a single row or series. Generally used to differentiate how phialides are arranged in species of Aspergillus; in uniseriate, they are directly on the conidial head, contrasted with biseriate where phialides rest on intermediate outgrowths of sterile cells called metulae.[392]
- universal veil
- A layer of tissue covering the basidioma during its early development, in agarics and Gasteromycetes. As the pileus grows, the veil is broken, with its upper remnants becoming cap scales, and the lower section becoming the volva.[393]
V
- verrucose
- Warty; having rounded bumps. Verruculose is the diminutive version for delicate or small warts.
- verticillate
- Having parts in rings (verticils); whorled. Develops due to branching in which branches or pedicels are borne at the same level on the hypha, and grow obliquely upward with respect to the central axis. Named after the conidiophores of Verticillium, but appears in other fungi such as the sporangiophore of Actinomucor. From New Latin verticillatus, arranged in a verticil.[394]
- vesicle
- 1. A bladder-like sac, especially of Pythiales where zoospores mature.
- 2. The swollen apex of the conidiophore of Aspergillus
- 3. The subsporangial swelling in species of Pilobolus.[395]
- virgate
- Banded or streaked. Generally applied to the surface of the pileus of a basidiocarp. From Latin virga, a twig, wand, rod, stripe, or streak.[396]
- volva
- The cup-like remnant of the universal veil at the base of the stipe in the basidiocarp of agarics and Gasteromycetes. Generally beneath the soil as a result, hidden from view unless the fungus is uprooted.[397]
W
- wart disease
- A fungal disease of the potato caused by Synchytrium endobioticum, a chytrid.[398]
- witches' brooms
- Massed outgrowths on branches of woody plants caused by mites, virii, and/or fungi, especially rust-causing fungi.[399]
- witches' butter
- Basidioma of Exidia glandulosa (or, in America, Tremella lutescens). Supposedly effective in witchcraft when thrown into a fire.[400]
- wood-decay fungus
- Fungi that digest wood. Mostly basidiomycetes, although a few ascomycetes also possess this ability. Generally categorized into brown rot, which digests a tree's cellulose and hemicellulose but not its lignin; white rot, which can also digest lignin; and soft rots, which are similar to brown rots in attacking cellulose and hemicellulose, but require moist wood and available nitrogen, e.g. from nearby soil. Two other notable types are dry rot (a slight misnomer, as some dampness is still required), a brown rot caused by Serpula lacrimans; and wet rot, several other species including cellar fungus.[401]
X
- xerophilic
- Preferring a dry habitat, or at least capable of subsisting in one. Rare among fungal species, but fungi with this capability can be exceptionally common, such as Aspergillus and Penicillium whose spores can be found in nearly any soil sample.[402]
Y
- yeast
- Unicellular, budding fungi. Not a formal taxonomic unit; a cross-phyla grouping of filamentous fungi. Classifications include sporogenous yeasts, asporogenous yeasts, apiculate yeasts, baker's yeast, brewer's yeast and beer yeasts, black yeasts, bottom yeasts, top yeasts, Chinese yeasts, flor yeasts, food yeasts, petite yeasts, shadow yeasts, springer yeasts, toddy yeasts, and wine yeasts. From Old High German jesan, ferment.[403]
- yellow rice
- Rice discolored and contaminated by Penicillium fungi.[404]
- yellows
- Various fungal diseases of plants causing yellowing, most notably cabbage (Fusarium oxysporum). See also yellow rice.[405]
Z
- Zoopagomycotina
- A subdivision of Zygomycota broken off into a separate classification in the 2010s. Typically microscopic and obligate parasites.
- zoospore
- A motile sporangiospore, i.e. having flagella.[406]
- Zygomycota
- A traditional major phylum of fungi; characterized by coenocytic mycelia. Divided into Mucoromycota and Zoopagomycota in 2016. Frequently saprobes or parasites of arthropods.[407]
- zygospore
- A thick-walled sexual spore formed by the fusion of two similar gametangia; characteristic of the Zygomycetes.[408]
- zygote
- A cell resulting from the fusion of two gametes of opposite sex.[409]
- zymo-
- Prefix meaning "yeast". From Gr. zymos, yeast.[410]
- zymogenous
- Ferment-producing.[411]
- zymology
- The practice and study of yeasts and fermentation in brewing and wine-making.[412]
