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]
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]
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]
Curvularia is a genus of hyphomycete fungi which can be pathogens but also act as beneficial partners of many plant species. They are common in soil. [1] Most Curvularia species are found in tropical regions, though a few are found in temperate zones.
Mucor mucedo, commonly known as the common pinmould, [1] is a fungal plant pathogen and member of the phylum Mucoromycota and the genus Mucor. [2] Commonly found on soil, dung, water, plants and moist foods, Mucor mucedo is a saprotrophic fungus found world-wide with 85 known strains.
Cercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. Most species have no known sexual stage, and when the sexual stage is identified, it is in the genus Mycosphaerella. [2] Most species of this genus cause plant diseases, and form leaf spots.
The Agaricomycetes are a class of fungi in the division Basidiomycota.The taxon is roughly identical to that defined for the Homobasidiomycetes (alternatively called holobasidiomycetes) by Hibbett & Thorn, [2] with the inclusion of Auriculariales and Sebacinales.
Aspergillus wentii was first described by German mycologist Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Wehmer in 1896. [3] Following a morphology-based classification scheme he created in 1901, Wehmer grouped A. wentii under a category of large Aspergilli that he called the "Macroaspergilli" due to its large fruiting body structure (the conidial head).
