Piedraia is a parasitic fungus of the genus of the family Cluster Ascometaceae subclass. This means that Piedras infection occurs when human cells are infected by the infectious agent. The causative agent of the infection is a mold that is part of a group of fungi known as clusterodeum. Piedraias fungi share characteristics of extracellular metabolism, the structure of their hyphae, and the relative location of enzymes within hyphal cells.

Hyphae mutation

The most common feature of black threads is the absence of typical hyphae. Instead of hyphae, they are made up of extensions called basal hyphae and carrier hyphae. They can also have irregular arrangements and shapes while still being interconnected.

Piedraj can cause skin discoloration, black spots on the nails, and other symptoms. But it is important to note that Piedrajas are not capable of causing disease in humans, they are only present nearby and perform a parasitism function.
