Mortierella wolfii

Microscopic morphology of Mortierella wolfii showing a typical erect, delicate sporangiophore, wide at its base, with a compact cluster of short acrotonous (terminal) branches.  On dehiscence of the sporangia a conspicuous collarette is usually present.  Columella are generally lacking and sporangiospores are single-celled, short-cylindrical, with a double membrane.
