Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

The lungs can be affected by fungi.

You may be referring to something called Histoplasmosis. We have an article about this here (cut and paste): https://www.empowher.com/histoplasmosis/content/do-you-have-dangerous-fungal-infection-lungs
Please bear in mind you may have some other kind of fungus. Your doctor can help you more.
Best,
Susan
