Fungus is not something you’re likely to want living inside you, right? But the reality is you have hundreds of different types living on your skin and in your mouth, gut and elsewhere on your body — and they’re pretty important for your health.
And while we have many more bacteria than fungi, the fungi on our bodies (known as the mycobiome) have a significant impact.
In fact, one of the most researched types of probiotics, Saccharomyces boulardii — which protect the gut from an invasion of ‘bad’ microbes when you’re taking antibiotics — is actually a type of fungi, specifically yeast. (Although many people use the term probiotics to refer to good bacteria, the term actually refers to ‘friendly’ organisms, including yeasts.)
