Funga
Funga, a synonym of 'mycobiota', is all the fungi of a particular region, habitat, or geological period. It is a recent term (2000s) for the kingdom Fungi similar to the longstanding fauna for animals and flora for plants. The term seeks to simplify projects oriented toward implementation of educational and conservation goals. It highlights parallel terminology referring to treatments of these macroorganisms in particular geographical areas. An official proposal for the term occurred in 2018, despite previous use. The previous term for all fungi in an area was mycobiota, a rather complex word which struggled to pass laws regarding the protection of fungi biodiversity.
