I love mushrooms and forgae frequently for my own knowledge and entertainment - but as a bona fide hypochondriac, I can rarely bring myself to eat a wild mushroom, even after I've confirmed it down to a microscopic level. This is not entirely the posotion of a rational actor, but I totally get people's hesitance.
Thankfully mycology can be widely and completely enjoyed without being a mycophage!
haha mycophage. i love it. I assume you were making a play on the work macrophage. According to dictionary.com the meaning of mycophage my·co·phage (mī'kə-fāj')
n.
A virus that infects fungi.
It is that - as well any animal that feeds on fungi . As usual with online dictionaries, it seems to depend on your source. :)
Mind blown ;) Always great to learn something new!
