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

  • Organize fungal morphologic criteria into yeast forms, hyphae, and reproductive structures as laboratory evidence
  • Apply systematic description (size, septation, branching, sporulation) before assigning an identification pathway
  • Interpret morphology as supportive, not absolute, evidence, hedging institutional ID algorithms
