fungi
Fungi are eukaryotes that grow predominantly by budding (yeasts) or by filamentous extensions called hyphae (molds). Fungi are etiological agents of fungal infections.
List of Fungi
Some fungi, such as Candida albicans, tend to grow predominantly as yeast but may also form hyphae. Dimorphic fungi have both a yeast form (at human body temperature) and a mold form (at room temperature).
