Darkly pigmented

What stain is used to make all the fungal elements appear black?

Stain used to determine hyphal pigmentation in tissue

Erect conidiohpores, dark, bearing conidia only on the upper portion of the tip

Conidium close to tip of conidiophore

Produces mucoid culsters of single or two-celled, slightly curved conidia borne from phialides at the tips of long unbranched multiseptate conidiophores
