'IMiey are usually multicellular and reproduce by spores. They re(|uire preformed foods and thrive best in the absence of light. Oospora porric/iucs (Achoriou Schoenleini) is the organism that causes favus. These nrganisms have mycelia with h_\phae, the latter may l)e branched and terminate in bulbous ends. The mycelium is later con\'erted into oval spore-like bodies. Favus is occasionally observed in dogs and cats, more rarely in horses and fowls. The disease is characterized by dry scales which are brown, yellow or e\'en white upon the surface and vary from wdiite to sulphur vellow in their deeper layers.
