Yes. Mycoviruses are viruses that infect certain fungi including mushrooms/toadstools, moulds like penicillin, and mycorrhizae. They can therefore affect production of edible mushrooms, penicillin and plants that benefit from useful symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi on their roots.

What is mycophages virus?
Mycophages are viruses that infect fungi. They are also referred to as mycoviruses. These viruses can impact the growth and reproduction of fungi, and some mycoviruses have been studied for their potential use in biological control of plant fungal diseases.
What kind of viruses infect humans?
Bacteria,fungi,or parasitic worms invade the human body.
Can all living things be affected by viruses?
Not all living things can be affected by viruses; viruses are highly specific and typically infect particular hosts. Most viruses target specific types of cells, such as those found in animals, plants, fungi, or bacteria. For instance, bacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, while other viruses may only infect certain animal or plant species. Therefore, while many organisms can be affected by viruses, others are resistant or immune to specific viral infections.
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
Why could a virus not infect another virus?
Viruses only infect living organisms and since they are not alive, they can not infect other viruses. The question is interesting though.

What is the meaning of the word pathogen?
A pathogen is a microorganism that can cause disease in its host. This includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can infect humans, animals, and plants.

viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
What types of organisms does bacteriophage attack?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. They do not infect human cells or other eukaryotic organisms. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting particular bacterial species or strains.
What do viruses that cause physical diseases infect?
It depends on what kind of virus. Viruses can infect any cell in the human body. Viruses such as HIV infect the immune system; air-born viruses, such as H1N1 or a cold, infect the respiratory system; neurological viruses, like rabies infect the brain (the virus is usually carried to it by peripheral nerves); and viruses like polio effect the nervous system, which can create paralysis.
What does Caulimoviridae infect?
Caulimoviridea are retro viruses that infect plants.

Can a virus infect any type of cell?
Yes.It infects fungi,plants,animals and bacterias
