Dimorphic fungi are fungi which can exist as mold/hyphal form^[1] or as yeast.^[2] These exist as mold form in environment and transform to yeast form when they enter into Human/animal bodies.

Several types are pathogenic. An example is coccidioidomycosis.^[3] Other dimorphic fungi include Blastomycosis and Histoplasmosis.
