Morphology
After 5 days at 25°C on YM medium, colonies white to creamy white, dull, raised, smooth colonies with margins beginning ?as? entire (3 days)? and becoming? filamentous over time (11 days), and wrinkled colonies with filamentous margins. On YEPD medium, similar, but contain only smooth colonies margins beginning as entire (3 days)? and becoming? filamentous over time (11 days). Cells globose to subglobose, smooth, 4.5-7.5 μm x 3-6 μm. Pseudohyphae observed on both YM and YEPD media.
