This Petri dish culture plate contained an unknown growth medium, upon which grew a single colony of the dermatophytic fungal organism, Microsporum canis, which in this case, had been obtained from a monkey isolate. For the reverse view of this colony, see PHIL 15478. Note the cottony texture exhibited by the surface of this colony, which is characteristic of M. canis.
