Each objective describes a mycology bench competency, morphology, culture, and interpretive reasoning, not antifungal dosing or treatment selection.

  • Relate common fungal media roles (primary recovery, selective, dermatophyte-oriented) without treating any list as universal
  • Match incubation temperature and duration strategies to yeast versus mold versus suspected dimorph workups
  • Interpret no-growth and delayed-growth results with hold-time and media-limit awareness, hedging institutional menus and biosafety
