One of the manifestations of fungal infections of the skin can become candidiasis. Mushrooms, which are the causative agents of this disease are conditionally pathogenic flora of the body and do not cause any pathological conditions. Only at the changing state of microorganism as a result of immune deficiency show signs of infection.
