This fossil, classified in the form genus Palaeancistrus, has hyphae that compare with extant saprophytic basidiomycetes. [5] The oldest known clamp connections exist in fossilized hyphae growing in the fossil fern Botryopteris antiqua , which predate Palaeancistrus by about 25 Ma .
Malassezia furfur is a fungus that lives on the superficial layers of the dermis.It generally exists as a commensal organism forming a natural part of the human skin microbiota, but it can gain pathogenic capabilities when morphing from a yeast to a hyphal form during its life cycle, through unknown molecular changes.

Candida albicans growing as yeast cells and filamentous (hypha) cells. A dimorphic fungus is a fungus that can exist in the form of both mold [1] and yeast.As this is usually brought about by a change in temperature, this fungus type is also described as a thermally dimorphic fungus. [2]
The germ tube differentiates, grows, and develops by mitosis to create somatic hyphae. [ 1 ] A germ tube test is a diagnostic test in which a sample of fungal spores are suspended in animal serum and examined by microscopy for the detection of any germ tubes. [ 2 ]
A branched system of slender hyphae, called the trichogyne, extends from the tip of the ascogonium projecting beyond the sheathing hyphae into the air. The sexual cycle is initiated (i.e. fertilization occurs) when a cell, usually a conidium, of opposite mating type contacts a part of the trichogyne (see Figure).
They have few septa and lack clamp connections. Fusiform skeletal hyphae are the second form of skeletal hyphae. Unlike typical skeletal hyphae these are swollen centrally and often exceedingly broad, hence giving the hypha a fusiform shape. Binding hyphae are thick-walled and frequent branched. Often they resemble deer antlers or defoliated ...
Cryptococcus is a genus of fungi in the family Cryptococcaceae that includes both yeasts and filamentous species.The filamentous, sexual forms or teleomorphs were formerly classified in the genus Filobasidiella, while Cryptococcus was reserved for the yeasts.
A blastoconidium (plural blastoconidia) is an asexual holoblastic conidia formed through the blowing out or budding process of a yeast cell, which is a type of asexual reproduction that results in a bud arising from a parent cell. [1] [2] The production of a blastoconidium can occur along a true hyphae, pseudohyphae, or a singular yeast cell. [3]
