Figure 1. Morphological traits of Muscodor kashayum (#16 AMLWLS) after 10 days of growth in different medium. (a) Macromorphological culture in PDA medium ((b)–(d)); compound microscope micrographs of hyphae in PDA, MEA and CDA medium stained with lactophenol cotton blue ((e)–(g)); light microscope micrographs of coiling formation of fungal hyphae over CMA, WA and BLA medium; and (h) Scanning electron micrograph of the mycelial arrangement and morphology (Bar 10 µm).
