fungal diseases
Spore-caused illnesses
Fungal diseases are illnesses caused by fungi—organisms like yeasts, molds, and mushrooms.
In humans, they range from minor skin conditions like athlete's foot and ringworm to serious systemic infections in immunocompromised patients.
Plants suffer fungal diseases too: blights, rusts, and mildews that can devastate crops.
The wet summer brought fungal diseases to the tomato plants.
