Under a relatively low magnification of 30X, this micrograph of a growing colony of Aspergillus alliaceus revealed some of the ultrastructural characteristics including the presence of sclerotia and conidial heads. Used as a food source during periods of dormancy, sclerotia consist of a hardened mass of the fungus’ own mycelia, and the conidia are the asexually-produced spores, or means of reproduction, which resides atop the conidiophore.
