Yet only a small number of fungi are harmful to animals, including humans. In addition to host-pathogen interactions, there are also mutualistic interactions between fungi and animals. Diseases caused by pathogenic fungi range from allergic reactions and superficial infections to invasive mycoses, and have a significant impact on human and animal life. Fungi are also cultivated by animals as a food source in highly developed relationships or are even involved in gut mutualism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 3rd edition of Volume 6 of \u003cem\u003eThe Mycota\u003c\/em\u003e highlights exemplary interactions between fungal pathogens and their host(s).
