‘Pyrophilous’ means ‘fire-loving’. Pyrophilous organisms are those that are either dependent on fire for part of their life cycle or thrive in environments recently affected by fire. Fungi that specifically colonize or grow best on burnt organic matter or in fire-affected soil are classic examples of pyrophilous organisms.
