Caption:
This Petri dish culture plate contained an unidentified growth medium, which after having been inoculated with the fungal organism, Penicillium claviforme, also known as Penicillium vulpinum, had produced a single, large tan colored colony, composed of concentric rings emanating from a lightly colored, puffy, granular central region, and ringed by lightly colored rings out towards the colony’s periphery. P. claviforme is part of a group of fungal organisms that develop what are known as coremia, or synnemata, which consists of numerous conidiophores that have woven themselves together, forming one large, thick walled, reproductive structure bearing many spores, or conidia. See PHIL 19033 for a view of two coremia containing reproductive spores.
