Yes: The inflammatory reaction to the fungus can form a round aggregate of inflammatory cells and form a granuloma which looks like a lung nodule. This still has to be sorted out and don't be complacent especially if there are risk factors for cancer.

Lung nodules: Long nodules should be evaluated. May be serious or not at all serious. Doctor can help person find out cause. No relation to exposure to mold.
