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.
