Neurospora crassa
Neurospora crassa is one of the best studied fungi and has been used for genetic and biochemical research for more then a century. It was first detected in a bakery in 1843 and is a common red bread mold. This fungus has not been linked to any human disease so far and due to its aerobic nature (meaning that it required oxygen) it is unable to grow in the gut. Therefore, it is not considered a part of the common human gut microbiome.
