Morphology. In the body of man and animals, as foci of granulation tissue, 

 containing the fungus, which is composed of interlacing filaments, and 

 which on the periphery show a radial arrangement or clavate enlargement 

 of their ends. Filaments 0.4-0.6 fx. in diameter, either long and unseg- 

 mented, or breaking up into longer or shorter rods. The filaments often 

 show a segmentation of their plasma and the formation of gonidial ele- 

 ments, which later are set free and are presumably gonidia. In cultures, 

 filaments showing true branching are numerous. The clavate enlarge- 

 ments of the. ends of the filaments, due to a capsular thickening, are
