Since a lich's soul is mystically tied to its phylactery, destroying its body will not kill it. Rather, its soul will return to the phylactery, and its body will be recreated by the power keeping it immortal. Thus the only way to permanently destroy a lich is to destroy the phylactery as well.
Lichtheimia corymbifera is a thermophilic fungus in the phylum Zygomycota. It normally lives as a saprotrophic mold, but can also be an opportunistic pathogen known to cause pulmonary, CNS, rhinocerebral, or cutaneous infections in animals and humans with impaired immunity.
A mature sporangium of a Mucor sp. fungus. Usually, zygomycosis is a disease of the skin, but can also occur in the sinuses or gastrointestinal tract. In humans, it is most prevalent in immunocompromised patients (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [HIV/AIDS], the elderly, severe combined immunodeficiency [SCID], etc.) and patients with acidosis (i.e., diabetes ...
Phaeohyphomycosis is a diverse group of fungal infections, [6] caused by dematiaceous fungi whose morphologic characteristics in tissue include hyphae, yeast-like cells, or a combination of these. [7] It can be associated with an array of melanistic filamentous fungi including Alternaria species, [8] Exophiala jeanselmei, [9] and Rhinocladiella ...
Trichophyton rubrum is a dermatophytic fungus in the phylum Ascomycota.It is an exclusively clonal, [2] anthropophilic saprotroph that colonizes the upper layers of dead skin, and is the most common cause of athlete's foot, fungal infection of nail, jock itch, and ringworm worldwide. [3]
Lufenuron is also used to fight fungal infections, since fungus cell walls are about one third chitin. [1] Lufenuron is also sold as an agricultural pesticide for use against lepidopterans, eriophyid mites, and western flower thrips. It is an effective antifungal in plants. [2]
Chromoblastomycosis is a long-term fungal infection of the skin [2] and subcutaneous tissue (a chronic subcutaneous mycosis). [3] It can be caused by many different types of fungi which become implanted under the skin, often by thorns or splinters. [4] Chromoblastomycosis spreads very slowly. [citation needed]
Many furanocoumarin compounds are toxic. The phytochemicals enter the nucleus of epithelial cells and form a bond (cross-linking) with the DNA when exposed to UV, which causes cell death and causes inflammation via activation of the arachidonic acid cascade. The result is known as phytophotodermatitis, a serious skin inflammation. [5]
