Toenail fungus infection is an infection that occurs in your toenails and is caused by fungal microorganisms. Fungi like molds and yeasts get into the toenails through the cracks, cuts, breaks, and injuries to the nails. There are fungal spores in the environment, but they only begin to flourish when they fall on surface areas like the nails. Fungi often thrive in a warm and moist environment.
