That would be mycology, but only if you really study them as well as eating them.

Microbiology, specifically actinomyces and the much neglected archaea. In terms of analysis, genomics/omics or phylogenetics.

Molecular cell biology and pharmacology I suppose. So cell signalling and the signalling cascades present within cells.

My 1st year Adaptation and Diversity module was a disaster though embryology was somewhat interesting.

Whenever someone christian discovers I'm an atheist, I get quizzed about aspects of the theory I don't know so now I dislike it.

Evolution is one of my favourites too! I was very close to doing a degree in Evolutionary Biology at Exeter :tongue:
