Fungiculture

Fungiculture is the study and cultivation of fungi, including mushrooms and yeasts. Fungi are vital in our environment, providing food sources and helping to break down and recycle organic matter, playing a vital role in the global carbon cycle. Fungi also have numerous applications in human health, as they are used to produce antibiotics and aid in the development of medicines and vaccines. They also have industrial applications, such as being used as a food source, a flavoring in beer and wine, for brewing and baking, and for biotechnological products such as enzymes and enzymes substrates. Fungiculture provides an important service to humanity by helping to ensure our food and medicine supplies are safe and secure.
