Fungi, microbiomes & the science connecting them.
Mycobiome explores fungi, the human mycobiome, microbiome science, medicinal mushrooms, research, people and innovation — clearly, critically and without hype.
Our aim is simple: make a fast-moving field understandable to curious readers while remaining useful to professionals. Where evidence is preliminary, uncertain or limited, we say so.
Explore the field
Fungi & Medicinal Mushrooms
Species, cultivation, compounds, extracts, traditional use and current research — with a clear distinction between established knowledge and questions still under investigation.
Microbiome & Mycobiome
Accessible explanations of fungal communities, microbial ecosystems and the methods researchers use to study them.
Science & Research
Research notes, study summaries and deeper analysis that identify study type, limitations and uncertainty instead of turning early findings into conclusions.
People & Innovation
Researchers, growers, laboratories, companies and technologies helping shape how fungi and microbiome science are studied and understood.

The Human Mycobiome – The Forgotten Side of Our Microbiome
An introduction to what scientists mean by the human mycobiome, where fungi may be detected and why the field remains scientifically challenging.
How Should We Think About the Mycobiome in Everyday Life?
A practical way to think about an emerging research field without turning scientific uncertainty into everyday health claims.
How we work
Mycobiome is an editorial and educational platform. We aim to distinguish human studies from animal and laboratory research, separate association from causation, and make uncertainty visible rather than hiding it.
References to research do not mean that a finding has been established as a health effect, and content on this site is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment guidance.
Evidence first. Context always. No hype.
