Pythium splendens is characterized 
morphologically by larger conidia, 
oospores, and oogonia; by the constant 
presence of three to eight antheridia; 
by the terminal formation of conidia, 
no intercalary ones being found; by the 
preponderance of conidia, oospores 
being formed only sporadically; by 
germination of conidia with two to six 
germ tubes.
