Dimorphic fungal pathogens.

*This table includes the most common dimorphic fungal pathogens of mammals, plants, and insects; thus, it is not all-inclusive. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which rarely causes human infection, is not included because it converts between yeast and pseudohyphae. Although Cryptococcus neoformans converts to a filamentous form during mating, is not traditionally considered dimorphic fungus. Candida albicans can be considered a polymorphic fungus because it grows as yeast, pseudohyphae, and hyphae.
† Thermally dimorphic fungi.
‡ Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Blastomyces may include two species, B. dermatitidis and B. gilchristii sp. nov.
§ Although Lacazia loboi cannot be grown in vitro, it is phylogenetically related to P. brasiliensis and other thermally dimorphic fungi.
¶ Penicillium marneffei has been renamed Talaromyces marneffei.
# The taxonomic location of the subphylum mucoromycotina is uncertain (the zygomycota phylum is obsolete).
