have a distinct yellow to brownish color that can be seen in stained preparations
dematiacioushyphae
two variety of asexual mold spores
SporangiosporesandConidiospores
Sporangiospores are formed enclose within structures called
sporangia
are formed enclose within structures called sporangia that arise from aerial hyphae
Sporangiospores
are formed on structures that are also derived from aerial hyphae but are open to the air
Conidiospores
open contain more than one spore
macroconidia
only one spore is present
microconidia
three types of asexual spore formed directly from hyphae
blastospores, arthrospores, chlamydospores
by budding
blastospores
arthrospores
by fragmention of the hyphal tube
by the complete walling off nucleus within a hyphal segment
chlamydospores
FUSARIUM
Penicillium
They are fluffy to cottony and may appear in color pink, purple, yellow, green and other shades
Fusarium
they grow rapidly (2-5 days) and may appear first as flat, white filamentous growth which rapidly becomes blue-green and powdery with sulfur-yellow area scattered over the surface
Aspergillus
this fungus produces a rapidly growing colony that fills the test tube or plate with a white fluffy mycelium, becoming gray to brown with age
Mucor
this fungus produces a rapidly growing (2-4 days), coarse, wooly colony which soon fills the test tube or plate with a loose, grayish mycelium dotted with brown or black sporangia.
