Yes, yeast and mold are both classifications of fungal infections. Yeast infections, also known as candidiasis, are caused by the overgrowth of a type of fungus called Candida. Mold infections, on the other hand, are caused by the inhalation or direct contact with various molds such as Aspergillus, Fusarium, or Penicillium. Both yeast and mold infections can occur in different parts of the body, such as the skin, mouth, respiratory tract, or genital area.
