👉 Amylascides are a group of fungi that produce an enzyme called amylase, which is essential for the digestion of carbohydrates in the gut. They also play a role in the production of digestive enzymes, such as proteases and lipases, which aid in the breakdown of proteins. Amylascides are found in many parts of the body, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon.
