RFV discussion: April 2015
Anglicised form of "fungus"; plural "fungs". I can't seem to find it in dictionaries or in Google Books. Equinox ◑ 19:01, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * This book explains that the term was coined by Ferdinand von Mueller but never became widespread. It has the usable quote "The Baron stuck to his fungs, but the term failed to catch on".
 * The same book also discusses an 1892 monograph by Mordecai Cubitt Cooke, "An enumeration of all fungs" which presumably uses the word in running text as well.
 * I'm also seeing citations on Scholar to R Tate "A list of the charas, mosses, liverworts, lichens, fungs, and algals of extratropical South Australia" which also presumably uses the word in running text. If so, that is three cites. Spinning Spark  21:41, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks good. might be in order. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:44, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

These citations should be added to the actual entry (or its citations page) when someone has time. Equinox ◑ 11:52, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
