Short description: Study of organic evolution of fungi based on fossils

Paleomycology is the study of fossil fungi.[1] A paleomycologist is someone who works in this field. Paleomycology is considered a subdiscipline of paleobotany.[2] While most fossils of mushrooms are discovered in amber,[3] a great diversity of fossil fungi have been documented throughout the Phanerozoic.[4][5]
