Morphology of Fungal Infections in Tissues

Fungal infections with hyphae or pseudohyphae in tissues:

 • Yeasts with pseudohyphae

 • Non-pigmented (hyaline), septated hyphae

 • Non-pigmented (hyaline), pauciseptate hyphae

 • Pigmented yeasts and hyphae with septations

Endemic fungal infections with yeasts in tissues:

 • Broad-based budding yeasts

 • Narrow-based budding yeasts with mucicarmine+ capsule

 • Small yeasts with narrow based budding

 • Spherules with multiple endospores
