The physiological, biochemical, and morphological changes brought about by fungi in response to fungicides can undoubtedly bring diversity to fungi. strains TN (mating type genes , , and ) and CmFRQ-454 (mating type genes and ) were treated with non-lethal doses of fungicides amphotericin B, L-cysteine, terbinafine, and 5-fluorocytosine. The results showed that the treatment with amphotericin B, terbinafine, and 5-fluorocytosine promoted an increase in the relative content of clock protein CmFRQ ( FREQUENCY) in the mycelium of strain TN, while the high concentration of L-cysteine inhibited the expression of CmFRQ in strain TN.

Blue light induced carotenoid accumulation in filamentous fungus- Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The pigment particles were observed in the fungal mycelium by microscope after blue light irradiation. The pigmentation was not found in the fungal mycelium either cultured under dark condition or cultured in red light.
