Athletes foot: You can't get athletes foot in the mouth unless you suck on your toes or someone who has athletes foot. You can however get thrush which is a fungus, in the mouth.

Athlete's Foot...: The fungus which causes athlete's foot (mainly tinea) likes a warm, dark, moist environment. While it is potentially possible to get a tinea infection in the mouth, it is relatively rare. You may have thrush which is most often caused by a yeast infection. See a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
