| Aspergillus fumigatus | Clandophialophora bantiana |
| Aspergillus | Clavispora lusitaniae |
| Aspergillus terreus | Coccidiodes immitis |
| Bipolaris hawaiiensis | Cryptococcus spp. |
| Bipolaris spicifera | Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans |
| Blastomyces dermatitidis | Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii |
| Candida spp. | Curvularia pallescens |
