Pseudogymnoascus destructans (formerly known as Geomyces destructans) is a psychrophilic (cold-loving) fungus that causes white-nose syndrome (WNS), a fatal disease that has devastated bat populations in parts of the United States and Canada. Unlike species of Geomyces, P. destructans forms asymmetrically curved conidia. [1]
Demodex folliculorum is a microscopic mite that can survive only on the skin of humans. [2] [3] Most people have D. folliculorum on their skin. Usually, the mites do not cause any harm, so are considered an example of commensalism rather than parasitism; [4] but they can cause disease, known as demodicosis. [5]
Gongylonema pulchrum infections are due to humans acting as accidental hosts for the parasite. There are seven genera of spirudia nematodes that infect human hosts accidentally: Gnathostoma, Thelazia, Gongylonema, Physaloptera, Spirocerca, Rictularia. The G. pulchrum parasite is a nematode worm of the order Spirurida.
Most fungus gnats are weak fliers, and can often be seen walking rapidly over plants and soil, rather than flying. However, when airborne, the gnats may be quite annoying to humans by flying into their faces, eyes, and noses, both indoors and outdoors. These flies are sometimes confused with drain flies.

The fungus is a habitat colonist with a preference for airborne alcohol (e.g. the angels' share), earning it the nickname whiskey fungus.
Pithomyces chartarum is a fungus predominantly found in subtropical countries and other localities with warmer climates. [1] However, it occurs throughout the world including the United Kingdom, Europe and Netherlands. [2] Pithomyces chartarum produces a mycotoxin called sporidesmin when it grows on plants, particularly grasses. [2]
