About
Petriella setifera is a fungus commonly found in soil and feces. The fungus has also been located on wood rot, plant species, and compost. A significant portion of P. setifera reports are found on sources with no previous association with the fungus. There are no known human cases of fungal infection, but one reported case of a dolphin infection. The fungus may have immunosuppressive characteristics, but it has not been confirmed. Many properties of the fungus are unknown, requiring further research.
