Accepted Answer

Blastomycosis is a fungal infection caused by the inhalation of fungal spores from soil or organic matter. It is not transmitted through contact with fomites or infected sputum. Spherules are associated with coccidioidomycosis, another type of fungal infection. Respiratory droplets are more commonly associated with bacterial and viral infections.
