 aration of a severed node. There are numerous hvphae which are branched 

 and septate. Asei containing two to eight spores may be demonstrated. 

 On culture, the growth is slow, the color black and glabrous. Chlamydo- 

 spores and occasional asei may be present.

The reputed cause of "white" tinea nodosa, this fungus reveals a mass of 

 hvphae and occasional budding cells in potash mounts. The cultures are 

 moist, light yellow and nonnlamentous.
