Cevap
The correct answer is B. Coccidioides.Dimorphic fungi are fungi that can exist in two different forms, depending on the environmental conditions. They can grow as yeast cells at body temperature (37°C) and as mold filaments at room temperature (25°C).Cryptococcus, Histoplasma, and Blastomyces are all examples of dimorphic fungi. They can switch between the yeast and mold forms, which allows them to survive in different environments.Coccidioides, on the other hand, is not a dimorphic fungus. It is a genus of fungi that only grows as a mold in the environment and does not have a yeast form. Coccidioides species, such as Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii, are the causative agents of coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley Fever.
