Fungi are capable of surviving in a range of habitats, including water, soil, air, and plants. Mouth, throat, esophagus, lungs, bladder, genital region, and blood can all be damaged by fungi. Mild fungal skin infections are able to cause rashes. Fungi that infect body organs such as the lungs can cause influenza or tuberculosis. Certain fungus, such as cryptococcal meningitis and blood infections, can be fatal. Candida-caused yeast infections of the vaginal area, esophagus, and urinary system are among the most common fungal infections.
