👉 Phallomycetidae is a family of fungi that includes several genera with the common name human phallomyces, commonly referred to as "penis fungus." These fungi are known for their ability to produce spores that can colonize and grow in the skin or other parts of the body. This process is called penile emery, which occurs when the fungal spores get embedded and spread throughout the skin, causing redness, itching, and sometimes pain.
