Feedback:
Infections, such as ringworm and athlete's foot, are caused by fungus. Algae are an important part of the environmental food chain and rarely cause human disease. An example of pathogenic yeast is Candida albicans, which causes the disease known as thrush. Molds are common in the environment.
