Fungi are eukaryotic organisms. Some fungi are edible and could be grown for food in a Martian colony. Fungi, especially some sorts of mildew, are certainly of great use in the artificial ecosystem of a greenhouse, since they are involved in the decaying process.
Some people have an allergy against the spores of mildew, and patients with depressed immune system can suffer from a fungus infection. As yet, the development of the human immune system under Martian gravity and inhouse conditions is unclear.
