Once a fungus is inhaled, it will multiply, either in the upper or lower respiratory tracts. As the fungi multiply, it will interfere with breathing, causing an overabundance of mucus. An upper respiratory tract infection includes the common cold and laryngitis. Lower respiratory tract infections are usually more serious and include bronchitis and pneumonia, both of which can be fatal.
Some examples of harmful fungi include Aspergillus, which can cause respiratory infections; Candida, which can lead to yeast infections; and Fusarium, which can cause eye infections and skin infections. Additionally, some fungi produce mycotoxins that can contaminate food and lead to food poisoning or other health issues.
No, fungi do not cause influenza. Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, not fungi. Fungi typically cause infections such as athlete's foot, yeast infections, or fungal pneumonia.

Two serious systemic infections caused by fungi are candidiasis and aspergillosis. Candidiasis is caused by Candida species and can affect various organs in the body. Aspergillosis is caused by Aspergillus species and can cause respiratory infections in immunocompromised individuals. Both infections can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
