What are fungal infections other than ringworm

[DigitalExplorer]

I'm looking for help understanding different types of fungal infections other than ringworm. I know that ringworm is a common fungal infection, but what other types of fungal infections are out there? Are they all contagious? Are there any treatments or preventative measures I should be aware of? Any advice from people who have experienced other fungal infections would be greatly appreciated.
