| Acrodontiium spp. on DG-18 |
The organism,
Acrodontium spp. was found to be a laboratory contaminant on culture plates. The organism is similar to several other organisms. The colony growth is slow on DG-18 agar with white fluffy restricted growth at 5 days.

| Acrodontium spp. 400x (25 microns between 6 and 7) |
The lower end of the conidiophore is wider at the base then the conidia producing structure at the tip of the conidiophore. I identified the organism using the key in the book,
The Genera of Hyphomycetes. These spores would not be identifiable to genera on an Air-o-cell cassette sample.
