About Mycology
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources here follow fungi from basic biology to disease. The deck Identify this mould opens with hyphae and mycelium, the tubular structures that make up a fungus. The Introduction to mycology deck asks why penicillins and cephalosporins do not work on fungi, and about the fungal cell wall and caspofungin.
Where to start
Begin with the basics. The Mycology flashcard deck covers the definition of a fungus, a eukaryotic, spore-producing organism, and the origin of the word. Fungi Introduction compares yeast and mould in structure and reproduction. Physiology of Fungal Growth then looks at hyphal structure and the apical growth zone.
- Read a definition deck such as Fungi.
- Move to growth and identification.
- Finish with specific diseases.
Diseases and pathogens
Once the basics feel familiar, the page lists decks and maps on particular infections. There are decks on Candida, Cryptococcosis, Histoplasma capsulatum and Pneumocystic jirovecii. Mind maps cover Dermatophytosis, Aspergillosis, Subcutaneous Mycoses, Opportunistic Mycoses and Respiratory Mycoses. The Medically important fungi map includes Coccidioides immitis and its biphasic life cycle, and the Fungal pathology map covers the three dermatophyte groups.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see how a topic fits together. Then take a quiz such as Fungal Diseases, Intro to Mycology or Mycology Structures to see what stuck. Go back to the map or deck for anything you missed. Teachers can use the notes and the slide set on human diseases caused by fungi as ready-made starting points.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Medically Important Microorganisms strand of Microbiology and immunology. Pick a map or quiz that matches your next topic and work through it at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Mycology flashcard deck, which covers what a fungus is and where the word comes from. Then try Fungi Introduction, which compares yeast and mould. Once those feel comfortable, move on to the decks on Candida, Cryptococcosis and Histoplasma capsulatum.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps range from definitions and fungal identification methods to disease groups such as Dermatophytosis, Subcutaneous Mycoses, Opportunistic Mycoses and Respiratory Mycoses. There are also maps on single conditions, including Aspergillosis, Candidiasis, Cryptococcosis and Tinea capitis. There are over 70 in total.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who is this page for?
It suits university students who want to revise fungi and the infections they cause, and teachers looking for ready-made material. Nearly all the resources are at university level. You can use them to test recall, check definitions and review disease groups.
Are there quizzes I can use to test myself?
Yes, there are more than 20 quizzes. Examples include Fungal Diseases, Intro to Mycology, Mycology Structures and fungi of medical importance. Try one after reading a mind map, then return to the related deck for any questions you got wrong.
What if I cannot find a topic I need?
Check the related decks and maps first, since topics often overlap. If something is still missing, you can build your own flashcards, mind maps, quizzes or notes. The resources here were made by other users, so your own material can fill the gap.
