pseudofungus

(pl. pseudofungi)

Terms discussed: pseudochytrid (pl. pseudochytrids)



I use pseudofungus as a term for the organisms that used to be considered fungi, especially the Oomycetes, pseudo-chytrids, which took the longest to weed out. No one really considered the slime molds fungi from about 1870 onwards.
