About the 3D illustration

A conidiophore with a compact columnar head; one tier of phialides occupies the upper vesicle and supports conidial chains. This is an environmental reproductive structure, not its appearance in tissue. Colours encode structures; they are not measured biological hues. Each specimen is independently enlarged. Independent scientific review remains pending.
