Mycology mind maps

What the mycology mind maps cover

These user-made maps connect fungal characteristics with identification methods and diseases. Definition of Fungi outlines features such as cell walls and growth forms. Fungal identification methods organizes approaches including microscopy, culture and nucleic acid-based diagnostics.

Other maps focus on particular infections. Respiratory Mycoses includes coccidioidomycosis, while Subcutaneous Mycoses looks at fungi entering deeper tissue. Fungal pathology includes dermatophytes associated with the skin, hair and nails.

Study with a map

For an overview, start with Definition of Fungi, then follow its branches to see how the characteristics relate. Move to an identification or disease map when you want to focus on a specific topic. Try recalling each branch before opening it again, then check what you missed.

If you want to test your recall in a different format, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the Mycology unit page. Choose a map and follow a branch that interests you.
