[edit] Introduction

The suffix -mycete is used primarily as a tool in mycology to form words used for categorising fungi based on their evolutionary origin, life-history, growth-form or ecological preferences; the main purpose of this article is to provide a single point of reference for these terms.

[edit] Etymology

Such words are formed from Greek or Latin roots with the terminal -mycete ("_____-mycete" basically means "_____ fungus".)
