Asci |
Saclike structure in which ascospores are formed through sexual reproduction of ascomycetes |

Aseptate hyphae |
Hyphae without a separating wall or membrane |
|
Blastoconidia |
The unit of asexual reproduction produced by budding |
|
Chlamydoconidia |
A thick-walled fungal spore that is derived from a hyphal cell and can function as a resting spore |

Conidia |
An asexual spore formed by abstriction at the top of a hyphal branch |
|
Dematiaceous |
Dark fungi that form melanin |

Dermatophyte |
A pathogenic fungus that grows on skin, mucous membranes, hair, nails, feathers, and other body surfaces, causing ringworm and related diseases. |

Phialoconidia |
A conidium produced by a phialide |
|
Poroconidia |
A conidium produced through the microscopic pore of the conidiophore |
|
Pseudohyphae |
A chain of easily disrupted fungal cells that is intermediate between a chain of budding cells and a true hypha, marked by constrictions rather than septa at the junctions. |
|
Rhizoid |
Small branching hyphae that grow downwards from the stolons that anchor the fungus |

A single-celled or many-celled structure in which spores are produced |
|
Stolon |
An occasionally septate hypha, which connects sporangiophores together |
|
Tinea |
Tinea is the name of a group of diseases caused by a fungus. Types of tinea include ringworm, athlete's foot and jock itch |
|
Vesicle |
In fungi, a bubble-like sac produced by zoosporangium, and from where zoospores mature and are eventually released. |
|
Zygomycota |
Zygomycota, or zygote fungi, is a phylum of fungi |
