Mycology sits within Microbiology, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 3 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 1 of them at Hard, and 1 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Mycology marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Microbiology examiners keep returning to.
