This image shows a plate culture growing the fungus Madurella grisea (Georgia isolate).
Some Madurella spp are a cause of mycetoma, a fungal infection characterized by sclerotia, or large black masses of hyphae. The fungus enters the human body via trauma, which usually affects the foot. This disease process may take several years.
