Many fungal infections of humans are considered to be opportunistic, meaning that fungi that are normally free-living (usually in soil) can sometimes survive, and even thrive, on or inside the human body. From the fungal “point of view,” what unique challenges would be encountered when trying to survive on human skin? What about inside human lungs?
What aspects of the fungal body make fungi so successful as decomposers?
Describe two ways in which fungal spores arise.
