The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- As this is usually brought about by a change in temperature, this fungus type is also described as a thermally dimorphic fungus.
- An example is Talaromyces marneffei, a human pathogen that grows as a mold at room temperature, and as a yeast at human body temperature.
- The term dimorphic is commonly used for fungi that can grow both as yeast and filamentous cells, however many of these dimorphic fungi actually can grow in more than these two forms.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dimorphic fungus article was read about 8,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 49 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
