👉 Herpomyces is a genus of fungi that belongs to the family Chytridiomycetes, characterized by their ability to produce mycelium-like structures known as hyphae. These hyphae are primarily found in moist environments and can develop into thicker or more complex structures. Herpomyces typically inhabit soil, wood, and other organic matter, where they are a common source of fungal infections like dermatophytes and psoriasis.
