Malasseziomycetes
Malassezia is a genus of fungi (specifically, a yeast belonging to the division Basidiomycota).
Some species of Malassezia are found on the skin of animals, including humans. Because malassezia requires fat to grow, it is most common in areas with many sebaceous glands—on the scalp, face, and upper part of the body.
