Summary: Geomycology can be simply defined as ‘the scientific
study of the roles of fungi in processes of fundamental
importance to geology’and the biogeochemical importance
of fungi is significant in several key areas. These
include nutrient and element cycling, rock and mineral
transformations, bioweathering, mycogenic biomineral
formation and interactions of fungi with clay minerals
and metals. Such processes can occur in aquatic
and terrestrial habitats, but it is in the terrestrial …
