For #MOLDS, their growth is characterized by hyphal growth at both environmental and body temperature. For #YEASTS, their growth is characterized by bacterial-like growth (i.e.: colonies are soft with no hyphae) at both environmental and body temperature.

For #DIMORPHIC fungi, their colony morphology changes depending on their incubation temperature. This growth pattern makes dimorphic fungi more pathogenic, so it is very important to remember your dimorphic fungi.
