Abstract

Several methodologies have being developed for fungal identification. Nevertheless morphologic and metabolic similarity between species makes correct differentiation difficult. In this paper, we present a Pattern Identification Guide suitable for the identification of 33 species of fungi, especially medically important fungi. The methodology allows discrimination that parallels rDNA sequencing analysis.
