 Degree in Mycology?

I'm curious as to if anyone in here has a degree, or took classes in, Mycology. Also what sort of pre-requisites one would need to attain a degree in mycology. Also what I mostly found is classified as "medical" mycology. If anyone has any ideas, good schools to go to for it, etc please feel free to post it here.
thanks!!!
edit: oops i didn't see this when i searched before for some reason http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8957692 ; sorry for the repost, but comments/ideas are still welcome

I also would like to know where you would be able to get a degree in Mycology and how you could use it in a career.

Few (if any?) undergraduate universities offer a degree in mycology, but many do have mycology classes or at least classes that cover similar material. If you're a biology student, you could probably do some research in mycology as an undergrad.
I imagine you'd first have to get a bachelors of science in biology and then a medical mycology degree from a graduate school.

Are there any online courses/degrees available online in mycology?
I don't care to travel that much in order to pursue a degree in mycology just yet. However, I'm probably going to pick up school again soon (for personal interest reasons, not furthering a particular career) and would like to pursue mycology or microbiology, respectively, as my preferences.

Plant pathology is a good undergrad degree if you want to pursue mycology as a graduate.

usually you minor in mycology to pay for the rest of school. I suspect you could learn more (of what you want) in this profession reading on your own and opening a serious mushroom farm while studying on your own time in the lab you have created. I'm sure you could learn from a master and accelerate your education by going to school (not a bad time for it in the US if you can afford it).

For having, in the natural history of this earth, seen a succession of worlds, we may from this conclude that there is a system in nature ... by which they are intended to continue these revolutions. But if the succession of worlds is established in the system of nature, it is in vain to look for anything higher in the origin of the earth. The result, therefore, of our present enquiry is, that we find no vestige of a beginning and no prospect of an end."
