    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basidiomycota

    The genus Filobasidiella forms basidia on hyphae but the main infectious stage is more commonly known by the anamorphic yeast name Cryptococcus, e.g. Cryptococcus neoformans [19] and Cryptococcus gattii. [18] The dimorphic Basidiomycota with yeast stages and the pleiomorphic rusts are examples of fungi with anamorphs, which are the asexual ...

    Malassezia is a genus of fungi (specifically, a yeast). Some species of Malassezia are found on the skin of animals, including humans. Because malassezia requires fat to grow, [3] it is most common in areas with many sebaceous glands—on the scalp, [4] face, and upper part of the body.

  5. Dimorphic fungus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimorphic_fungus

    The term dimorphic is commonly used for fungi that can grow both as yeast and filamentous cells, however many of these dimorphic fungi actually can grow in more than these two forms. Dimorphic is thus often used as a general reference for fungi being able to switch between yeast and filamentous cells, but not necessary limiting more shapes. [4] [a]

    Aureobasidium pullulans is a ubiquitous and generalistic black, yeast-like fungus that can be found in different environments (e.g. soil, water, air and limestone). It is well known as a naturally occurring epiphyte or endophyte of a wide range of plant species (e.g. apple, grape, cucumber, green beans, cabbage) without causing any symptoms of disease. [1]
