    On the other hand, the cons that some variety of fungi experienced lethal pathologies for humans such as histoplasmosis, or extremely dangerous pneumonia / bronchitis that today do not have a preventive method such as vaccines.

    Explanation:

    Nowadays, fungi present not only a difference in their morphologies, but also other resistance mechanisms, or tolerances to oxygen, metabolisms, energy sources, etc.
