How to distinguish fungal mycelium from Leptothrix in a smear? 🔬

Leptothrix and fungal mycelium can look similar in a smear, but there are important differences:

✔ Spores nearby? This is 100% a fungal infection. ✔ Leptothrix – thin, even rods, without branching or spores. ✔ Fungal mycelium – branched threads, often with rounded spores nearby.
