Malassezia furfur is a member of the human skin microbiomes that can cause various skin diseases. Dimorphism plays a role as the yeast phase predominates during skin colonisation whereas mycelial forms are observed in the scales of patients with pityriasis versicolor (PV). However, due to their condition‐dependence for growth, it is difficult to culture M. furfur and this is an additional challenge for studying the pathogenicity of this fungus.
