text: mycography. The description of fungi; a book consisting of descriptions of fungi. [<myco- + Gr. graphé a drawing, description.]
ref: 1971, Walter Henry Snell, Esther A. Dick, A Glossary of Mycology, 2, illustrated, revised edition, Harvard University Press, →ISBN, page 107:
text: Although early mycologists developed a technical vocabulary to express their distinctions in Latin, from the first they relied on accurate representations to convey their perceptions exactly. Indeed, one may surmise that they learned to see a specimen precisely by drawing it. Thus the art of depicting fungi, or mycography (to coin a suitable term), has always been an essential part of mycology. Although drawing a specimen from life still has its advantages, photography has largely replaced it because the camera is both faster and more accurate than the pen.
