Morphology of Thielavia basicola. Our studies and observa- tions on this fungus have brought out facts found by other investiga- tors. The mycelium of the fungus is hyalin, septate and branched. The hyphas average from 3-4u in width. The mycelium becomes more or less greyish with age. There are three kinds of spore forms pro- duced. 1. Endospores, so called because they are formed inside a special thread of the mycelium. This is the spore form that is most commonly met with in pure cultures of artificial media. The endo-. Fig. 3.

It has a somewhat swol- len base and a long tapering cell (Fig. 3). The endospores are form- ed in the apex of this terminal cell and are pushed out of the rup- tured end by the growth of the unfragmented protoplasm of the base. They are hyalin, thin-walled, oblong to linear 10-25ux4-5u. The second kind of spores formed are the chlamydospores (Figs. 4-6). These are thick-walled dark brown bodies, born on the same mycelium as the endospores, and average from 20-50uxl0-18u, and correspond to the Torula stage of Berkeley's Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Taubenhaus, Jacob Joseph, 1886- [from old catalog].
