| Morphology | Ampullariella |
| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram-positive |
| Morphology | Hyphae of substrate mycelium 0.2-1.2 um in diameter, branched, septate. True aerial mycelium is not developed. Sporangia are produced above the surface of the substrate. They are irregular, cylindrical, lobate, bottle shaped, flask shaped, or digitate, 5.0-20.0 um wide and 8.0-30.0 um long. Numerous spores are produced within the sporangium, arranged in parallel chains. Spores are rod shaped (0.5-1.0 x 2.0-4.0 um) and motile., |
