Any Fungus Among Us?

Question from a novice here:

Is anyone aware of a fluorescent stain, or combination of stains that will
allow me to distinguish fungi from mixed population of fungi and bacteria?
For that matter, has anyone explored the detection/enumeration of fungi (in
general, or genus/species specific) using FCM?

I'm interested in counting fungi in samples, but the stains I'm familiar
with (e.g. calcofluor white) would not likely differentiate fungi from
bacteria, cellulose, and carbohydrate-containing background debris.

Thanks,Tom
