Hey guys... is Malassezia furfur considered dimorphic? Since the definition of dimorphic is yeast/mold at 37/25C and M. furfur has yeast-like cells and hyphae at 37C, I'm tempted to say it doesn't fit the strict definition. But since there are two forms present, I'm really not sure. Any help?

Thanks!

C,

I'd say it exhibits dimorphism, but not necessarily thermal dimorphism.
