      I really couldn’t give you a number of people as, like with my own field, I don’t know exactly how many are involved.

      I DO know that you need an undergraduate degree and a PhD – bear in mind only a fraction of university students go on to do a PhD. My guess would be a few hundred people study mycology in the UK… based on this info

      I think there are not too many but I do not know the exact number.
