Definitions
noun
1
A person who likes to collect, cook or eat wild mushrooms.
In addition to the enjoyment of hunting and the pleasure of new mushroom discoveries, the cryptic association of fungi with the decaying dead lends to the search a certain mystique that inspires the avid fungiphile.
Where I live, in Santa Cruz, California, one of the highlights of the fall season is the “Fungus Fair,” sponsored by the city museum and the Fungus Federation, where exotic mushroom dishes are sampled by thousands of eager fungiphiles.
2
Any organism (typically a bacterium) that selectively inhabits a fungus.
