The study of fungi dates back to ancient times, with early descriptions of fungal infections in humans and animals. However, the field of medical mycology began to take shape in the late 19th century, with the discovery of the causative agents of diseases such as ringworm (Trichophyton) and athlete's foot (Epidermophyton). The early 20th century saw significant advances in the field, with the development of antifungal therapies, such as griseofulvin, and the discovery of new fungal pathogens, such as Candida and Aspergillus.
