The organisms causing occidioidomycosis and paracoccidioidomycosis. (a) Coccidioides immitis in the environmental mould form. X 400 magnification, lactofuchsin stain. Thick-walled, barrel-shaped arthroconidia with thin-walled empty cells between, forming in mature hyphae. Infectious arthroconidia are released when the thin-walled empty cells rupture. (b) Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in the yeast phase. X 400 magnification, lactofuchsin stain. Characteristic ship's wheel appearance of a mother cell with multiple synchronously budding daughter cells.
