The term "athlete's foot" refers to the disease and not the organism (fungus) that causes it. Several different fungi, called dermatophytes, can cause tinea pedis. Moreover, a fungus species that causes athlete's foot can also cause, for example, jock itch (tinea cruris). It is typically caused by a mold[1] (but in some cases a yeast) that grows on the surface of the skin and then into the living skin tissue itself, causing the infection.
