Dimorphic fungi are fungi which can exist as mold/hyphal/filamentous form[1] or as yeast. An example is Penicillium marneffei:[2]

Several species are potential pathogens, including Coccidioides immitis,[3] Paracoccidioides brasiliensis,[3] Candida albicans,[4] Ustilago maydis,[4] Blastomyces dermatitidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, Sporothrix schenckii, and Emmonsia sp[5] .
