The yeasts range from 3µm to 5µm and are oval or spherical cells. '''Pseudohyphae''' are produced by some yeasts which are chains of irregular yeast cells. '''Dimorphic fungi''' change from the mycelial form into yeasts in certain conditions, e.g. 37°C or when inside animal tissue.

=Fungal Reproduction=
The majority of fungal reproduction is asexual. There is three main methods by which fungi reproduce asexually:
1.Sporulation followed by spore germination
*E.g. ''Aspergillus''
2. Fragmentation of hyphae
3. Budding of yeast cells
*E.g. ''Candida'' and ''Cryptococcus''
