Macroscopic

Mold- Hyphal structure (sepate- separated by a cross wall) (aseptate- not separated by a cross wall)
Mycelia- fuzzy or hair, colourful colonies
Vegetative hyphae- grows down on the agar surface to extract nutrients from media
Aerial hyphae- Grow above agar surface, produce asexual spores
Sporangiospores- produced at end of aerial hyphae, sack lick structure (Rhizopus)
Conidiospores-Formed on hyphae, conidia are separate (Aspergillus, penicillin)
Yeast- colonial appearance is moist, creamy, white in colour


Microscopically- round to oval. 5-10 times larger than bacterial cells.
