Blastomycosis is a serious fungal disease affecting humans and animals. It is typically caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus, <i>Blastomyces dermatitidis</i>. In this report, we describe an infection caused by the cryptic fungal species, <i>Blastomyces gilchristii</i>, in a tiger (<i>Panthera tigris</i>).
