Fungal maximal payoffs under different nutritional conditions independent of host immune activity. Green line, E0(y), indicates the yeast cell's payoff in environmental conditions indicated by n. Red line, E0(h), indicates the hyphal cell's payoff under given nutritional condition n. As the nutrient availability decreases, the hyphae payoff exceeds yeast payoff and, hence, the hyphal state becomes advantageous. See Table 2 for the parameter values.
