- Plant: Powdery mildew — a common fungal disease (caused by species in the Erysiphales, e.g., Erysiphe or Podosphaera) that produces white, powdery fungal growth on leaves and stems and reduces plant vigor.

- Human: Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) — a fungal skin infection most often caused by dermatophytes such as Trichophyton rubrum, producing itching, scaling and sometimes cracking between the toes.
