چکیده
Fungi are important organisms for human population and could find important applications namely, in many pharmaceutical and food industries. A variety of compounds has been isolated from medicinal and edible mushrooms, and their healthbeneficial effects have been reported. On the other hand, it is important to control microfungi as parasites and contaminants since they can provoke, in some cases, serious issues to human health.

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that potentially have the ability to cause disease in humans and animals. Fungal infections are called mycosis, which are divided into four types of superficial, cutaneous, subcutaneous and systemic, depending on the area of the body involved. Though cutaneous mycoses are rarely life-threatening infections, they can isolate the patient socially due to the disfig...
