longitudinal melanonychia is the dermatological term used for your condition. It is definitely not a fungal infection for sure and I highly recommended to see a Dermatologist. The underlying cause can be multi-factorial and very very rarely it can be an early sign of melanoma- a form of skin cancer. So dont delay the diagnosis.
Hope it hepls.
