Candida is the name of a song that went to # 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973, by Dawn (before they became Tony Orlando and Dawn)
I wouldn't make rash assumptions like that---we do have a very diverse membership.
Fungi can be perfect, though (in a certain biological sense); I assume no fungi have Wordie accounts, but I'm not really in a position to prove it.
After all, none of us is perfect, are we VanishedOne?
As far as I can gather from a quick Web search, an imperfect fungus is one whose reproduction we don't fully understand. It seems rather derogatory.
