Whenever this term comes up I wait to see if somebody can post something
definative.

My gut feeling is that this started with a botany/biology type
said "It looks like a Myco..., fungus" and didn't pause long enough.
And the end result was not that different from the garbled re-introductions
if I walk up to someone and say "Hi, I'm Pakrat"

Then again
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfungus
and http://www.devonian.ualberta.ca/uamh/
make me suspect that microfungus is just a confusing name for the most common
fungi...

Anyhoo, I'd rate 'microfungus' about as helpful as saying someone is
a placental mammal.
