Amphotericin B ("Fungizone") and mycostatin ("Nystatin") are commonly used
antifungals in cell culture, and are available from all the usual
suspects. My last lab happily used nystatin from Invitrogen Gibco. There's
also pimaricin ("Fungin", from Invivogen), and perhaps some others, but
you'd probably want to use those only in special circumstances.
