Candida colonies creamy muciod appear on SDA and Malt extract on left side and, unicellular cell of Candida stained by Lacto phenol cotton blue under X 400 on right side

A. Colonies of Penicillium on SDA; B. Penicillium spp. showing brush like arrangement of fruiting head of the conidiophores microscopically

Colony of Aspergillus niger (Black colony) on SDA, PDA from Site of infection and Aspergillus niger isolated from A

A. Aspergillus flavus colonies greenish-oily colour; B. reproductive head on Conidiophores very clear
