Fungi in question Class Mode of Nutrition Aerobic, anaerobic, etc. Asexual formation Sexual formation Habitat Are any disease causing members? How/what? Does it produce mycotoxin? Does it form mold or spores? Other important characteristics Aspergillus eurotiomycetes saprophytic Blastomyces eurotiomycetes saprophytic aerobic yes no soils in rich organic matter blastomycosis, via inhalation of infected soil particles no spores only Candida albicans Saccharomycetes saprophytic faculative anaerobic no yes mucosal membranes of mammals candidiasis by rapid multiplication yes both Cryptococcus gattii basidiomycetes saprophytic Dermatophytosis saprophytic Histoplasma eurotiomycetes saprophytic Pneumocystis saprophytic Sporotrichosis saprophytic Talaromyces marneffei saprophytic Fungi in question Class Mode of Nutrition Aerobic, anaerobic, etc. Asexual formation Sexual formation Habitat Are any disease causing members?

Aspergilus : aerobic, asexual formation - yes, sexual formation-no, found in soil and can grow on bread cheese, wood,decomposing matter, spores can be found in air.
Cryptococcus gattii : obligate aerobe, both sexual and asexual formation, found in trees and soil around trees and associated with eucalyptus tree, inhalation of airborne dried yeast cells or spores leads to disease.
Dermatophytosis : filamentous ascomycetes, aerobic, asexual yes , sexual no, habitat- zoophilic(animal associated), geophilic(soil), anthropophilic(human associated).
Histoplasma : aerobic, asexual reproduction by budding, sexual reproduction no, habitat- found in soil contaminated with bird droppings or bat excrements.
Pneumocystis : ascomycetes, aerobic, sexual ascus formation, asexual formation no, habitat human lung
Sporotrichosis : ascomycota, aerobic, asexual yes, sexual no, habitat soil and plants.
Talaromyces marneffei : eurotiomycetes, aerobic, asexual yes sexual , habitat found in bamboo rats faeces, liver, spleen.
