You're a "fun guy" if you study mushrooms! Bad dad joke aside, what is the term for a scientist who studies mushrooms and other fungi?

A mycologist is all about fungi and mushrooms, while a mesologist studies ecology and a malacologist studies molluscs. A mentrologist...well, I think we made that one up. And hey, if you want to get granular, some mycologists are actually phytopathologists, who study plant diseases.
