Ananthanarayan, Microbiology, 8thp. 612.On Sabourauds agar, at room temperature, white cottony mycelia growth appears, with large 8-20 micrometer thick walled, spherical spores with tubercles or finger-like projections. This appearance of tuberculate spores is diagnostic of Histoplasma capsulatum.Key Facts in FUNGOLOGY1. White piedraTrichosporon beigelli2. Black piedraPiedraia hortae3.
