Astromycology
Astromycology was the study of alien fungi. A scientist who specialized in the field of astromycology was known as an astromycologist. ()

Paul Stamets was an astromycologist. After seeing his presumed dead partner, Hugh Culber, in the mycelial network he studied, he started wondering if it could be more than a mental fabrication, because astromycology has taught him that nothing is ever truly gone. ()

At one point, Saru complimented Sylvia Tilly on her comprehension of the astromycology behind Stamets' findings. ()
