The fungus was first isolated in 1870 from a tinea cruris patient in Germany by Carl Otto Harz, who named it Acrothecium floccosum. [10] Being unaware of Harz's work, Castellani and Sabouraud identified the species again in 1905 and 1907, respectively, and both placed the fungus into the genus Epidermophyton. [11]

Cladosporium species are present in the human mycobiome but are rarely pathogenic to humans. They have been reported to cause infections of the skin and toenails as well as sinuses and lungs, with more common symptoms including nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes. [8]
The Glomeromycota have generally coenocytic (occasionally sparsely septate) mycelia and reproduce asexually through blastic development of the hyphal tip to produce spores [2] (Glomerospores,blastospore) with diameters of 80–500 μm. [9]
The mushroom has a broad, fan or oyster-shaped cap spanning 2–30 centimetres (3 ⁄ 4 – 11 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches); [3] natural specimens range from white to gray or tan to dark-brown; the margin is inrolled when young, and is smooth and often somewhat lobed or wavy.
Basidiobolus ranarum has a worldwide distribution [1] and is capable of living saprotrophically in a broad range of ecological situations, [12] indicating its great ecological and physiological tolerance as well as its ubiquity. [6] Basidiobolus ranarum was widely reported from all parts of the world, especially Asia and Africa. [1]
Mucor is a microbial genus of approximately 40 species of molds and dimorphic fungi in the family Mucoraceae. [1] [2] [3] The genus includes both pathogenic and avirulent species, and some members of it can be utilized in biotechnical applications. [4]
Agaricus section Lepiota was originally published in 1797 by South African-born mycologist Christian Hendrik Persoon. [1] It was subsequently raised to the rank of genus by Samuel Frederick Gray . As originally conceived, the genus was a mix of agarics with rings on their stems, including species now placed in Armillaria , Cortinarius , and ...
