The most common types of fungi found in the environment include molds, yeasts, and mildews. Molds are generally classified into two groups: filamentous molds and yeast-like molds. Filamentous molds are characterized by long, thin filaments that can grow up to 1 mm in diameter. Yeast-like molds have round or oval cells and tend to form clusters. Mildew is a type of fungus that causes white, powdery growth on plants and other surfaces.
