Description
Onygenales are fungi known for their ability to break down keratin, a protein found in hair, nails, and skin. Many species in this group are associated with animals, living on their fur or feathers. Some onygenales can cause skin infections in humans and animals. These fungi often produce small, round structures that release spores for reproduction.
