Some fungi reproduce through tiny spores in the air. You can inhale the spores or they can land on you. As a result, fungal infections often start in the lungs or on the skin. You are more likely to get a fungal infection if you have a weakened immune system or take antibiotics.
Fungal diseases are often caused by fungi that are common in the environment. Fungi live outdoors in soil and on plants and trees as well as on many indoor. Symptoms of fungi infection depend on the area affected, but can include skin rash or vaginal infection resulting in abnormal discharge.
Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms that have a cellular wall and do not photosynthesize. They parasitize organisms or exist as spores. In superficial mycoses, fungi invade keratinized tissue such as the horny cell
layer, hair and nails. In deep fungal infection, fungi tend to parasitize the dermis and deeper layers.
A fungus is what causes a fungal infection, also known as 'mycosis,' which is a skin condition. Fungi come in millions of different species. They can be found living in the mud, on plants, on household items, and even on your skin.
Fungi diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic fungi that can affect humans, animals, and plants. They range from mild skin infections to deadly systemic infections.
