Background: Silver nanomaterials have been widely proven to have antifungal effects against . However, the antifungal mechanism of silver nanomaterials with different morphologies still needs to be explored.

Methods: Herein, the antifungal effect of silver nanomaterials against fungus was comparative investigated via silver nanowires and silver nanoparticles with a similar size (30 nm).
