Basidiomycota that reproduce asexually (discussed below) can typically be recognized as members of this division by gross similarity to others, by the formation of a distinctive anatomical feature (the clamp connection), cell wall components, and definitively by phylogenetic molecular analysis of DNA sequence data.
It is considered to be part of the skin's normal human microbiota [2] [6] and begins to colonize the skin of humans shortly after birth. [7] Malassezia sympodialis, often has a symbiotic or commensal relationship with its host, but it can act as a pathogen causing a number of different skin diseases, [8] such as atopic dermatitis.

The Polyporales are an order of about 1,800 species of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. ... classification of the fungi in the 1980s and 1990s, the order was ...
The disease results from direct entry of the fungus through broken skin such as an insect bite or trauma, or eating contaminated food. [1] [3] It generally affects people who are well. [2] Diagnosis is by medical imaging, biopsy, microscopy, culture and histopathology. [2] Treatment usually involves amphotericin B and surgery. [3] [4]

The skin rash of tinea versicolor (pityriasis versicolor) is also due to infection by this fungus. As the fungus 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. When the fungus grows too rapidly, the natural renewal of cells is disturbed, and dandruff appears ...
Pathogenicity for insects is widely distributed in the kingdom of fungi and occur in six fungal phyla (Ascomycota, Oomycetes, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, and Microsporidia). [1] It plays a vital ecological role in controlling insect populations by impacting 19 out of 30 known insect orders.
A dermatomycosis is a skin disease caused by a fungus. [1] The most frequent form is dermatophytosis (ringworm, tinea). Another example is cutaneous candidiasis. These fungal infections impair superficial layers of the skin, hair and nails.
