If the spores are in clusters they can be identified on Air-O-Cell cassette air samples. If the spores are alone it is very difficult to differentiate the conidia from Aspergillus spp. or Penicillium spp.
Trichoderma spp. grows rapidly in culture at 25 degrees C on MEA and PDA and slower on DG-18. The colonies have a characteristic green, yellow and white color and spread rapidly across the plate.
