| A presumptive identification of the four genera of slower growing pathogenic dematiaceous molds can be made by observing specific types of conidiation. Match the names of the species of dematiaceous pathogenic fungi with the corresponding microscopic features illustrated in the photomicrographs: | View Page |
| Match the name of each dematiaceous fungus listed in the drop-down box with its most likely disease. | View Page |
| Match the names of each of the fungi listed with its appropriate category. | View Page |
| Saprophytic Cladosporium species may be difficult to differentiate from Cladosporium trichoides (Xylohypha bantianum) in culture as both produce chains of conidia separated by distinct scars or dysjuncters. Each of the following characteristics of Cladosporium trichoides are helpful in separating the two except: | View Page |
| The chain of conidia illustrated in this photomicrograph, with the deep-staining truncated bases, are called annelloconidia, and are most characteristic of: | View Page |
| The disease with which the dematiaceous fungus illustrated in this photomicrograph is most likely associated is: | View Page |
