Obviously, fungal infections are caused by contamination with fungi. Spores are the reproductive form of fungus; you can compare it with the seeds of a plant. Spores are very resistant towards external influences and therefore, they can live on - almost invisibly - while their growth form has disappeared completely. Furthermore, fungi as such are not contagious, but spores can be transmitted from one person to another and cause a fungal infection in the latter.
