The fungi include a variety of general forms – yeast, mold, mushrooms, and imperfect fungi. They reproduce in a variety of ways – by a bud arising from a parent yeast cell, by the addition of a vegetative cell to chains of cells called hyphae, and by the production of both asexual and sexual spores.  Although fungi form both asexual and sexual spores, they are classified based on the type of sexual spore they form. 

Candida albicans is a deuteromycete that is part of the normal microbiota of the skin, in the mouth, and in the vagina.  It reproduces asexually by conidospores on a long chain of cells.
